When I was a boy
My grace was near
Over time, it disappeared
Well, I'm on my way
Don't you cry for me
It was good to say the least

[Chorus:]
Well, the door is almost closed
And we're staring through the darkness
Well, the war is almost won
Can you hear the kingdom come
As the day begins to fade
And we turn the final page
I am on my way back home
Well, I gave my best
Or so it seemed
And with God I have made peace
When you're old and grey
Will you think of me
With a smile upon your face

[Chorus:]
Well, the door is almost closed
And we're staring through the darkness
Well, the war is almost won
Can you hear the kingdom come
As the day begins to fade
And we turn the final page
I am on my way back home
Strange how something
So sweet can become a lie
I never had the chance to say good night
[Chorus:]
Well, the door is almost closed
And we're staring through the darkness
Well, the war is almost won
Can you hear the kingdom come
As the day begins to fade
And we turn the final page
I am on my way back home
Yes, I'm on my way back home
