Going home, going home
I'm just going home
Quiet like, some still day
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, cares 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
I'm a Going home,
Going home, Going Home
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
I'm a going home
I'm just going home.....
Going home, going home
[Repeat]
My sistr and I chose this song to be sung at our father's funeral. My eyes still water whenever I hear it or even read the words.
