Goin' home, goin' home, I'm a goin' home Quiet like, some still day, I'm just goin' 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 folks gathered there All the friends I knew Nothin's lost, all is gain No more fret or pain No more stumblin' on the way No more longin' for the day Goin' to roam no more Morning star lights the way Restless dream all done Shadows gone, break of day Real life just begun There's no break, There's no end I'll be living on. Wide awake with a smile, going on and on Goin' home, goin' home, I'm a goin' home It's not far, just close by, through an open door I'll be goin' home, I'll be goin' home I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home Lord I'm goin' home
