lyrics

Journey Home

On your journey home
Don’t forget to cry
You are not alone
You are mine

When you take that step
To the great beyond
You might be afraid
But carry on

Those who wait behind
We think of you sometimes
Moments of our day
Light up

Spring has come again
Blossoms fly like snow
I feel you like a song
I’ve always known

I can see your smile
You always made me laugh
Together we were kids
So long ago

When distances are far
Our hearts can still be near
I look up in the sky
And talk to you

On your journey home
Don’t forget to cry
The love you never knew
Is close by
