Walk me down to the river
Let the water wash over my soul
This has been a long, long journey
I am finally going home
I am finally going home
With my heart to the sky
It's a sweet, clear morning children,
Please don't cry
Lived my life, had my fun
A new day dawns with every fading sun
Walk me down to the river
Let the water wash over my soul
This has been a long, long journey
I am finally going home
We all have a date with time
Some day you'll know yours,
right now this one's mine.
I'm at peace, with no regrets
I got my family 'round me,
I am truly blessed
Walk me down to the river
Let the water wash over my soul
This has been a long, long journey
I am finally going home
Going home
To take my rest, going home
The honored guest, caught up in the clearness
I'm heading for the light
Won't you please take me hand?
Gently steady me to the promised land
In the sweet by and by
Meet again on the other side
Walk me down to the river
Let the water wash over my soul
This has been a long, long journey
I am finally going home
Walk me down to the river
Let the water wash over my soul
This has been a long, long journey
I am finally going home
Going home
Going home
I think I'm ready
I know I'm ready
I'm going home
I'm heading home
To see my mother
To see my father,
my baby brother
A couple of neighbors calling me home
Walking me home
Healing me home
