On My Way

"Head To The Heart" is the name of the road
 'Cross mountains, valleys, switchbacks, and stones
 The longest of journeys that I've ever known
 To take me, take me home
 I walked for many-a-miles, many-a-days
 Months became years, they asked me my age
 I said, "I couldn't see what difference it makes
 Once we reach, we reach home".
 Off in the distance, there must be a place
 Somewhere to find rest, some light on your face
 She said, "I've always been open
 So come through my gate."
 I said, "Love, I'm on my way
 I'm on my way".
 I started to doubt that I might arrive
 Sometimes I wandered and one time I cried
 On the breast of a woman who paid a high price
 To say "yes"
 "Yes" to home
 I asked her, "What does it feel like?"
 "And how will I know?"
 "How long must I wait?"
 "Which way do I go?"
 She said, "I've always been open
 So come through my gate."
 I said, "Love, I'm on my way
 I'm on my way".
 One day in the distance, a mountain did rise
 But one that was different, it wore a disguise
 I saw my destination for the first time
 Yes, I saw it clearly, but not with my eyes
 And when I arrived I met a young man
 He showed me his heart
 He showed me his hands
 He wore a strange crown
 Said it hurts where he stands, but "welcome
 Welcome home".
 I said, "Show me the table
 I'm a traveling man
 I'll eat every last crumb
 I'll take all that I can
 And she said, "I've always been open
 So come through my gate."
 I said, "Love, I'm on my way
 I'm on my way".
 So, "Head To The Heart" is the name of the road
 'Cross mountains, valleys, switchbacks, and stones
 The longest of journeys that I've ever known
 To take me, take me home
