Lyrics
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home,
Quiet light, some still day,
I'm just going home.
It's not far, just close by,
Through an open door,
Work all done, care laid by,
Going to fear no more.
Mother's there expecting me,
Father's waiting, too,
Lots of folk gathered there,
All the friends I knew,
All the friends I knew,
I'm going home.
Nothing's lost, all's gain,
No more fret nor pain,
No more stumbling on the way,
No more longing for the day,
Going to roam no more.
Morning star lights the way,
Restless dream all done,
Shadows gone, break of day,
Real life begun.
There's no break, there's no end,
Just a living on,
Wide awake with a smile,
Going on and on.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home,
It's not far, just close by,
Through an open door,
I am going home,
I'm just going home.
Going home, going home,
Going home, going home.
Mother said that was her favorite song and she wanted it played at her funeral,
so I started practicing it on the flute in seconds.
