I'm a long way from home, a long way from home, Lord please watch over me

I just can't get a custom to the hunger
No one seems to notice that I'm cold
This life's not making me no younger
I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told

But I'm a long way from home

I've slept last night in a public mission
You can't imagine, well, you just can't imagine how I felt
The things that happened seemed like fiction
Someone even tried to steal my shoes while I slept

I'm a long way from home and so all alone and scared like I thought I never would be
I'm a long way from home, everything is wrong, Lord, please, watch over me
