Goin' Home
(about my trip to Arizona to see family)

Waiting for my airplane
with other people goin' somewhere else
it's been a long time since I seen your face or touched your hand
now the line is on the move I'm entering inside the big wing
speeding down the run wayfaster than I could run
it's lifting me...up
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home

Mountains tremble under me
snow covers these rugged tops
stretching for miles great and powerful fortresses
now I'm standing face to face
as I turn to see you one more time
you took me by surprise when I heard your voice
and recognized your face


Could it be that you're still the same?
with a smile upon your face
could it be your personality's alive and well
well I can tell, everything is swell

solo


You don't have to understand the way I'm leading my life
well anyway, it's so good to see your face
and to touch your hands again
I'm driving down route 66
looking for my next destination
and there you were up on the bridge overhead
our meeting place

could it be our lives have changed?
could it be our age has taken hold?
could it be our friendships still the same
like it was 12 years ago?
it's good to be home
the faces of my home


Now I'm on my way, I'm on return trip
and my family will be waiting for me there
As I close my eyes I hear a familiar voice
and see a Golden Horizon
could it be it's your Silloett?
could it be that it's You?
could it be that Heaven's Gates are open wide
to recieve me inside?
Well I can tell
 everythings swell
I'm goin' home, ......I'm goin' home.

an instrumental with tin whistle and recorder.

This is a brand new song dealing with A true situation about a friend.


seemed innocent

you did'nt  see it comin'
don't even think you knew
all the devestation
for your family and you

Chorus:

it seemed innocent, it seemed innocent enough
to set yourself a trap


you are my friend
and your hug gave me hope to carry on
with tears falling from my eyes
'cause I knew that you were a friend that really cared

solo


how will you change things?
turn back the hour glass
I'm not going to judge you
'cause any man can be tempted in this way

2 chorus:

keep your mind in check
never let it stray to the right or to the left
keep your heart in check
never leave the paths of righteousness
