(All Roads Lead to) Home

from Songs for a Simpler Time by Matt de Neef

lyrics

Across the sea, on a journey of the mind
A journey made to find, each other and themselves.
Across the world, leaving family and friends,
With a bundle of loose ends, for tying.

And days flew by, new cities came and went,
Yet another week was spent, before they knew that it was gone.
Before too long, they started missing home,
To continue still to roam, seemed foreign.

Each place is starting to blur into the next now,
Yeah each place is starting to blur into the next now.

Now the feeling’s gone and they know that something’s wrong
Yeah the feeling’s gone but they’re moving right along.
And the feeling’s gone and they don’t know what they’re running away from.

Each day is starting to blur into to the next now.
Yeah each day is starting to blur into the next now.

And the feeling’s gone and they don’t know why they came,
Yeah the feeling’s gone and it all just looks the same
They’ve got a feeling … a feeling that it’s time to come home again

Across the sea, on a journey of the mind,
On a journey made to find, those pleasures found at home.
Across the world, seeking family and friends,
And a new set of loose ends, for tying.

And in the end, whether east or whether west
they say home is truly best, when you’re searching for yourself.
They say, all roads, will lead you on to Rome,
But they also lead back home, if you let them.
