Being a great distance away, headed toward home 
My heart burns for loved ones never more to roam

I've squandered away much of my life
Traveling to many places caused much strife

My blinded eyes are now open, seeing the error of my ways
Returning home, I am hoping for forgiveness and praise

I found God; He forgave me of my sin
Praying that my family forgives me again
