Lyrics
I set sail on a voyage to find my soul
I embarked on a journey to discover my true self
Now all I want is just to go home
Now, all I desire is to return home
I chased for desire and all of my pride
I pursued desires and pride, losing sight of what matters
Now all I want is you back by my side
Current longing is for you to be back by my side
Ohh, Ohh
Expression of emotion, possibly yearning or pain
If Ma' was here would she be proud
Reflecting on whether the speaker's mother would be proud
Disappointment's a haunting sound
Dealing with the haunting sound of disappointment
If Dad was here would he help me along
Contemplating if the speaker's father would offer support or criticize
Or say, "Son you're just too far gone"
Potentially acknowledging a sense of being too far gone
Ohh, Ohh
Reiteration of emotional expression, possibly longing or pain
Take me home
A plea to be taken back to a place of goodness and familiarity
Back to the only good I've ever known
Desire to return to the only positive and known environment
Take me home
Repetition of the plea to be taken home
Take my hand and don't ever let me go
A request for support and a commitment not to let go
The struggle distracts me from holding my faith
Struggling interferes with holding onto faith
I can't see Your face because I turned away
The speaker turned away, making it difficult to see the divine
In the darkness my doubt is all I can see
In times of darkness, doubt clouds the speaker's perception
But You're still there screaming You love me
Despite doubt, the divine presence declares love loudly
So I'll pick up this gun and I won't back down
Ready to face challenges without backing down
Stand toe-to-toe and go another round
Willing to confront difficulties and persevere
I'll try my hardest to get back to town
Determined effort to return to a familiar place
Because I'm tired of letting You down
Expressing weariness of disappointing the divine
Ohh, Ohh
Reiteration of emotional expression, possibly exhaustion or frustration
Take me home
Repetition of the plea to be taken home
Back to the only good I've ever known
Desire to return to the only positive and known environment
Take me home
Repetition of the plea to be taken home
Take my hand and don't ever let me go
A request for support and a commitment not to let go
Take me home
Repetition of the plea to be taken home
Back to the only good I've ever known
Desire to return to the only positive and known environment
Take me home
Repetition of the plea to be taken home
Take my hand
A request for support and a commitment not to let go
Take me home
Repetition of the plea to be taken home
Back to the only good I've ever known
Desire to return to the only positive and known environment
Arrogant and wayward I ran from You
Acknowledgment of arrogance and waywardness, a plea for forgiveness
But I'll do anything to come home again
A commitment to do anything to return home
Take me home
Repetition of the plea to be taken home
Take my hand and don't ever let me go
A request for support and a commitment not to let go
Ohh, Ohh
Reiteration of emotional expression, possibly yearning or pain
Ohh, Ohh
