Mama, it's been far too long Since I've been back home and we sang a song But time's gone by like a cloudy day And just fell away like a drop of rain But hey, I'm on my way Hey, I'm on my way I hate that we've had to wait Papa, I do pray your well That a worried thought never comes around I got your blood and I got your name If I got your will, I should be okay But hey, I'm on my way I hope that you've been okay Hey, I'm on my way I hate that we've had to wait Sister, I've been a-missin' you We saw the world and we made it through You've held my hand and you wiped my tears Lord, it feels like a hundred years But hey, I'm on my way I pray that you've been okay Hey, I'm on my way I hate that we've had to wait Brother, you get on my mind All I want is to see you smile Though you've gone to the galley I know your heart is next to me But hey, I'm on my way Hey, I'm on my way I hate that we've had to wait I hate that we've had to wait
