I went the ways of wayward winds In a world of trouble and sin
Walked a long and crooked mile Behind a million rank and file
Forgot where I came from Somewhere back when I was young I was a good man's child
'Cause I lost some nameless things My innocence flew away from me
She had to hide her face from my desire To embrace forbidden fire
But at night I dream She's singing over me Oh, oh, my child
* Come on home, home to me And I will hold you in my arms And joyful be
There will always, always be A place for you at my table Return to me
Wondering where I might begin Hear a voice upon the wind
She's singing faint but singing true Son, there ain't nothing you can do
But listen close and follow me I'll take you where you're meant to be Just don't lose faith
So I put my hand upon the plow Wipe the sweat up from my brow
Plant the good seed along the way As I look forward to the day
When at last I see My Father run to me Singing oh, my child
