lyrics

The way back
Is fraught with tears
The way back
Rips shores back year by year
The way back (to you, love)
Will be made clear
I say that (that's all I ask)
And feel not I'm mistaken

My way home (while out at sea)
My way home (all my life)
My way home (I lose my crew)
My way home (my folk, my people)
Through time, through sin
Through thought, through karma
Through boy, through father
From child to mother

Through testing
Through flame, through fire
Through losses, Through lives retired
Through trial, Though we may tire
Through evil, be not beguiled
My mother, my dad, my brother
May perish; I hope these pains are worth it

Long as I live
You don't want it: object of your desire
I want it...I think I need it: this suffering
You don't want it.

My god, my god...
My god gives and he takes
My god makes and he breaks
My god burns and she kills
This journey: It tests man's will
These lessons, you won't want it
These blessings: oh now you want them, huh?

My way home (while out at sea)
My way home (all my life)
My way home (I lose my crew)
My way home (my folk, my people)

When all is done, I hope I see you
The ones we love drift off to sea in time

Love them little things while you can
Love the time you spend with your people
Love's the only thing that we got
Love, in time, will free all our people

My people...God free my people
Through losses,
Through lives retired
Through trials, though we may tire
Through evil, be not beguiled
My mother, my dad, my brother may perish
I hope these pains are worth it...

Spend time with those you love.
