I’ve been down that road
And I’m traveling now

It turned out then that I could walk away
But I couldn’t run away
Oh mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
My heart tried to stay (my heart tried to stay)

And now you’ll find me here by the cool water
I lay with Lane by the side of a rock
And we wait for the cool of the day

I hear the footsteps of my Father drawing close now
I hear His breath, I know the sound when He comes to meet with me
It used to be frightened when He called my name or try to impress him
But now I know for me Your heart is full of love!

Oh Father, let all of Your waves and breakers sweep on over me
Oh Father, do You know the heart You wake when You say: Come with Me?
Oh Father, let these ears hear again You invite me to sing and play
Oh Father, Father, Father, my heart is home (my heart is home)

I’ve been down that road
I’ve been down that road
I’ve been down that road
I’ve been down that road
I’ve been down

I’ve been down that road
And I’m traveling now
