Album: This Bright Hour

Don't Let Me Come Home A Stranger

As I walked out one evening
To breathe the air and soothe my mind,
I thought of friends and the home I had
And all those things I left behind.

A silent star shone on me.
My eyes saw a far horizon,
As if to pierce this veil of time
And escape this earthly prison.

Will there come a time when the memories fade
And pass on with the long, long years,
When the ties no longer bind?

Lord, save me from this darkest fear!
Don't let me come home a stranger;
I couldn't stand to be a stranger. (2x)
