When I was young
I was a dreamer
I thought this world was mine to own
And every day was an adventure
All mine to claim
I'd make a name
That all would know

Then as I grew I longed for comfort
To taste the things this world affords
But at their best, those things were fleeting
A gnawing grew
Inside I knew
There must be more

And now I find myself here thinking
How sweet this life has been to hold
But through it all the pain, the blessings
There's been a pull
To leave this world
For streets of gold

Now I'm longing for home
Yes, I'm longing to be whеre I belong
I love thе life I've lived
But I know soon it will be gone
That's why I'm longing for home
