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
