Hello father, good to be back home
Hello father, cuz I been on my own
And it’s been hard walking this by myself
This lonely road seems so cold

​

Tell me father, is there something you can say
Tell me father, there’s gotta be a better way
Cuz dreams are clouds that seem to slip on through
Can’t find the key to this mystery…

​

Don’t turn away – don’t toss the hope of a lone soldier
Cuz it ain’t over – ‘til you find what is there for you
Don’t think you’re done cuz voices say that it’s over
Just be bolder – we’ve all got a gift to use

​

Teach me father – there’s so much I can learn
Teach me angel – walk me through every turn
I’m oh so ready, please take me through this land
This land of hope is where I stand…

​

Don’t turn away – don’t toss the hope of a lone soldier
Cuz it ain’t over – ‘til you find what is there for you
Don’t look around just keep the way straight as an arrow
The path is narrow but it’s wide enough for you

​

Gotta let it go and trust how big it is
The road is long and winds and it seems it never ends
Gotta let it go and trust how you will lead
He gives us what we need

​

Don’t turn away – don’t toss the hope of a lone soldier
Cuz it ain’t over – ‘til you find what is there for you
Don’t think you’re done cuz voices say that it’s over
Just be bolder – we’ve all got a gift to use
Don’t turn away – don’t toss the hope of a lone soldier
Cuz it ain’t over – ‘til you find what is there for you
Don’t look around just keep the way straight as an arrow
The path is narrow but it’s wide enough for you
But it’s wide enough for you, for you
