Coming 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.
It's a long and lonely highway.
When you're traveling all alone.
I was on my way to nowhere.
But now I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.
I've been running through the fire.
I've been running for so long.
If I took it any higher.
Baby I would be still be gone.
And now I'm coming home,
Coming home.
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home, coming home
Coming home.
Well my home was really never.
On a far and distant shore.
If I stayed away forever.
I could never miss you more.
And so I'm coming home,coming
Home.
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home,coming home,
Coming home.
I think of all these years gone by.
Never even wondered why.
I never touched the ground.
All the time that's come and gone.
All the nights I've been alone.
And now I'm homeward bound.
I heard the thunder over Canaan.
And I heard the angels cry.
And their voices came revealing
As you live,so will you die.
I'm coming home,coming home,
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home,coming home,
Coming home.
