about
A song about longing for ones physical and spiritual home. A look at how far our once great nation has strayed from God's path.
lyrics
Long Way From Home
Walking down the road
I don’t recognize a thing
It all looks different
Than it did when I was a kid
All the mom and pops are gone
Been replaced by shiny chains
Places I once felt safe
Have now all been blown away
I’m a long way from home.
I’m a long way from home.
A nation once proud
Doesn’t even stand up
When its anthem is played
They just bicker, whine, and fuss
They’ve lost their since of humor
Can’t even take a joke
They threaten to sue
Cause they got their feelings hurt
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
Where, Oh where have we all gone?
What was once right is now all wrong!
We’ve got men killing men, but we blame the gun!
Tiny unborn babes are killed for fun!
Sins no longer sin; its just PC!
(Sigh)
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
Walking down the road
I don’t recognize a thing
It all looks different
Than it did when I was a kid
All the mom and pops are gone
Been replaced by shiny chains
Places I once felt safe
Have now all been blown away
I’m a long way from home.
I’m a long way from home.
A nation once proud
Doesn’t even stand up
When its anthem is played
They just bicker, whine, and fuss
They’ve lost their since of humor
Can’t even take a joke
They threaten to sue
Cause they got their feelings hurt
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
Where, Oh where have we all gone?
What was once right is now all wrong!
We’ve got men killing men, but we blame the gun!
Tiny unborn babes are killed for fun!
Sins no longer sin; its just PC!
(Sigh)
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
I’m a long way from home
