Lyrics
Awake from your slumber and I'll sing you a song
Encouragement to wake up and listen to a song
A tale of adventure for singing along
A narrative of adventure meant for singing along
So fill up your red cups and silence those cells
Fill up your cups and relax, putting aside worries
You've nowhere to be so just sit for a spell
No specific obligations, just sit and enjoy
For 46 years I've been digging my grave
Expressing a long period of personal struggle
From Rancho to Vista to Pueblo these days
Listing places where the struggle took place
And personally, I'll tell ya it's all been amazingly
Reflecting on the challenging yet amazing experiences
Hard and hectic and hairy some ways
Highlighting the difficulties faced in some aspects
And miles upon miles of heartache and smiles
Mentions of both hardships and joys over time
The journey is long and your spirit's on trial
Life's journey is challenging, testing one's spirit
And roads upon roads to take on your own
Diverse paths to choose, forging one's own way
Some day you'll be gone but you'll always have home
Anticipating departure, emphasizing the constant connection to home
Some day you'll be gone but you'll always have home
Reiteration of the enduring connection to home
And 46 years can seem awfully far
Reflecting on the perceived distance in time
From where you are going and all that you are
Encouragement to find inspiration amid the journey
Find something igniting like lightning you know
Suggesting that there is still a long way to go
You've ages to get there still miles to go
Emphasizing the mix of challenges and joys
And miles upon miles of heartache and smiles
Reiteration of the lengthy and trial-filled journey
The journey is long and your spirit's on trial
Continued emphasis on personal paths
And roads upon roads to take on your own
Reaffirming the lasting connection to home
Some day you'll be gone but you'll always have home
Repeating the assurance of a perpetual home
Some day you'll be gone but you'll always have home
Reiteration of the constant connection to home
Home is where the heart is found
Defining home as where the heart is
Our love is whole and our hearts are bound
Describing a strong, boundless love
Our heart and soul has laid the groundwork
Stressing the foundation laid for a journey to start
So you can get going and the going starts now
Encouraging commencement of the journey
For you who I love and to whom I sing now
Dedicating the song to someone dearly loved
Trust in these words and forever you shall
Encouragement to trust the words for lasting joy
Find fun and adventure from center of soul
Finding fun and adventure from within
You've ages to get there still miles to go
Emphasizing the ongoing journey with miles to go
And miles upon miles of heartache and smiles
Reiteration of the mix of heartache and smiles
The journey is long and your spirit's on trial
Stating the enduring nature of life's trials
And roads upon roads to take on your own
Emphasizing the multitude of personal paths
Some day you'll be gone but you'll always have home
Reassurance of a constant connection to home
Oh, one day you'll be gone
Acknowledging the eventual departure
And you might be alone
Recognizing the possibility of solitude
And out on your own
Acknowledging the independence that may come
But know that you'll always have home
Emphasizing the enduring presence of home
