I return home from a long journey
The road was treacherous but I'm not afraid
Rolling rocks out of my way
Crying, where have you been?
I had to leave and make my own way
But the weight of the world crumbled my faith
The weight of the world
To go far and come back with nothing to show
My disappointments only he would know
I'm not around so he lashes out
Crying where have you been?
You still have those shoes you got from your dad
A shirt from an old job you had
A hole in your jeans and a heart of gold
Crying where have you been
I had to leave and make my own way but the weight of the world crumbled my faith
The weight of the world crumbled my faith
When the dust settles in
My mind reflects on what could've been
A beautiful journey
I had to leave, to make my own way
I'm so sorry for leaving you
When I was a young boy
My dad used to say
Get up! get up!
It's time to go on your way
