The road to home is so much longer than was the road away When I was young and so much stronger and could decide to stay Every night it takes its time to turn around today With all my heart and all my mind, I cry and try to pray [Chorus] Don't let me stop until the lights of home are in my eyes Don't let me drop until I fall into your long embrace If I could only feel the ecstasy of hope's fulfilled surprise Then each and every mile will be worthwhile When by love they're all erased I can see my Father running, and His arms are opened wide And if His love was not so stunning, I would try to run and hide All the things I've done, where I've been, the times of sin and shame But I can't resist the leap of hope every time He calls my name [Chorus] Don't let me stop until the lights of home are in my eyes Don't let me drop until I fall into your long embrace I can almost feel the ecstasy of hope's fulfilled surprise And each and every mile will be worthwhile When by love they're all erased
