Had it all one day
Threw it all away
Took my leave with no goodbye

Bought some company
Bragged how we were free
Laughed and looked death in the eye

Even far away
In a foreign place
Where the hunger gnawed my soul

Still my heart would long
For love's old sweet song
And a fire when the nights were cold

There's a road somewhere
There's an open door
There's a hill where the green grass grows

There's a family feast
Where there's joy and peace
Goin' back to a place called Hope

Fickle friends are gone
Wasted years are long
And regret can bring you low
But there's a swift embrace
There's amazing grace
There's a place where lost sons go

There's a road somewhere
There's an open door
There's a hill where the green grass grows

There's a family feast
Where there's joy and peace
Goin' back to a place called Hope

Goin' back to a place called Hope
