Courage, don't desert me! Don't turn back now that we're here. People always say Life is full of choices. No one ever mentions fear! Or how the world can seem so vast On a journey ... to the past. Somewhere down this road I know someone's waiting Years of dreams just can't be wrong! Arms will open wide. I'll be safe and wanted Fin'lly home where I belong. Well, starting now, I'm learning fast On this journey to the past Home, Love, Family. There was once a time I must have had them, too. Home, Love, Family, I will never be complete Until I find you... One step at a time, One hope, then another, Who knows where this road may go Back to who I was, On to find my future. Things my heart still needs to know. Yes, let this be a sign! Let this road be mine! Let it lead me to my past And bring me home... At last!
