Lyrics

If you just knew what I know, you would never leave home. Night after night I've been gone, just trying to find my way home. In this world I'm all alone, but we all need a home. I don't care how long I roam, as long as I find my way home, my way home. As long as I find my way home. Sorry I've been missing, trying to make it home. Counting all my blessings, look how far I've come. Packing my provisions, tell the boys I'm gone. Working on this mission, no time for pointless fun. I can now see clearly, the purpose of my life. Made for something greater, and I hold beyond the skies. So you may not see me later, unless you want this ride. Looking for that paradise, and I won't stop till I'm home, back home. And I won't stop till I'm home, back home. If you just knew what I know, you would never leave home. Night after night I've been gone, just trying to find my way home. In this world I'm all alone, but we all need a home. I don't care how long I roam, as long as I find my way home, my way home. As long as I find my way home. My home is where the heart is, started from rivers flowing below. Gardens, far then, my affinity to these soliloquies. Living heavenly from now till infinity. Yes please, set me to the highest peace. Live at ease, liberties of the sun he. Every scene from your dream, so serene. No more fees or diseases, only he could provide what you strive for in this life. When you die, all the trials will be your light. White, black, and everything in between. Hearts clean from the mercy of Ar-Rahim. Take me, I believe in the unseen. For the deen, I'll be walking on the mustaqim. When they bury me, don't cry at my gravestone. Tell them I ain't gone, I just went back home. If you just knew what I know, you would never leave home. Night after night I've been gone, just trying to find my way home. In this world I'm all alone, but we all need a home. I don't care how long I roam, as long as I find my way home, my way home. As long as I find my way home.
