Trying To Get Back Home

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

In the beginning

God said let there be

He breathed his life into everything

The garden air

Was pure and sweet

And the birds sang welcome home

We all know where it goes from there

The lie, the bite, the fall

And nothing but shame to wear

Packing their bags

Headed God knows where

Into a strange new place called alone

Well, that was then

But that was now

And that was them

But that was all of us somehow

Now we're all trying to get back home

Back to the place

Where the heart knows it belongs

So be kind to yourself

And to everyone else

On this long and winding road

Cause we're all just trying

Trying to get back home

And in the beginning

We were wild and free

Nothing to hide

And nothing we had to be

Not afraid to dance

And not ashamed to sing

Cause we knew we couldn't do it wrong

Now we're all trying to get back home

Back to the place

Where the heart knows it belongs

So be kind to yourself

And everyone else

On this long and winding road

And don't believe it

If you start feelin' alone

Cause we're all just trying to get back home

We're all trying

To get back home

We're all trying

To get back home

And we're all trying

To get back home

You are not alone

Not alone

We're all trying to get back home

You are not alone

We're all trying to get back home

We're all trying

To get back home

So be kind to yourself

And everyone else

On this long and winding road

And don't you believe it

If you start feelin' alone

We're all just trying to get back home
