Father's House

I walked here alone
 Found my own way
 Carried my burden through the crooked and straight
 I have come to the garden
 And stepped through the stream
 That no one can cross o'er but me
 Don't make me wait to go to my father's house
 There's a light on the porch and it's cold out
 If I wait to go to my father's house
 I don't know if I'll make it home
 I have counted my battles
 To measure my war
 Dreaming of a mansion with fireproof floors
 I have come to the river
 To dip my head and shiver
 And knelt at the end of the day
 Don't make me wait to go to my father's house
 There's a light on the porch and it's cold out
 If I wait to go to my father's house
 I don't know if I'll make it home
 In the end I'll look back on the days
 I was traveling alone
 Traveling alone
 Don't make me wait to go to my father's house
 There's a light on the porch and it's cold out
 If I wait to go to my father's house
 I don't know if I'll make it home
