Wish I didn't feel
This confused devotion
But going back home
Mixes my emotion

The freedom I've felt
From being away
Whispers gently for
Me to stay

Oh Lord, please tell me
Where it is safe and sound
Show me the way
To solid ground

So many days living
On my own
Feeling just fine about
The way I've grown

Free to make mistakes
And stumble
Free from advise and
Words that grumble

Oh Lord, please tell me
Where it is safe and sound
Show me the way
To solid ground

I don't think here
Is where I belong
It has nothing to do
With right or wrong

People constantly drifting
In and out
Before I know what
They're even about

Oh Lord, please take me
Where it's safe and sound
Show me the way
To solid ground
Somehow home brings
Me a special peace
It's strong attraction
Will never cease


Family and friends
That will always be there
Loyal and accepting
So much we share

Oh Lord, please take me
Where it's safe and sound
Show me the way
To solid ground

Being close to those
Where love runs deep
Is a treasured gift
I want to keep

And so my friends
The tradeoffs are there
But my heart beats
Stronger with those who care

Oh Lord, now I know
Where it's safe and sound
I am making my way
To solid ground
