Lyrics
It?s a Long Way Home
the dog barks in the morning light,
the cat scratches at the door
coffee on the stove, fresh snow lies over this town
like a wave washing on the shore
stand up, look to the far horizon
stand up and carry on
it?s a long way home
we are not alone
in the darkest night
a small point of light comes into sight
- what are you going to find on the long way home?
something that my daughter said escapes me at the moment
I just remember her smile and the innocent wave of her hand
for her the door is just beginning to open
on a perfect day in the Promised Land
stand up, look to the far horizon
stand up and carry on
it?s a long way home
we are not alone
in the darkest night
a small point of light comes into sight
we?re going to see it shine on the long way home
let the satellites shine
shine down through the darkness
watch over the world
in all its sorrow and fear
let the satellites shine
let mercy inspire us
we will prevail,
the day is so near
it?s a long way home
we are not alone
in the darkest night
a small point of light comes into sight
we?re going to see it shine on the long way home
