12. Home

You were always coming into view
Just a little way, just a little longer
Come round beside me as I grew
In a little way, just a little longer
Holding out hope of things made new
Helping a boy grow stronger

You held all my youth there in your hands
Just another way, just a little longer
Took me out walking on the sands
Here’s another way, just a little longer
Holding out hope I’d understand
Helping a boy grow stronger

You raised me up and pushed me out
Told me I had to fly
Showed there was more
Than you could teach
Now to return, repay the debt
Make up for the time gone by
Sorrow and sweep back the tears
Upon this beach
That I may still reach....
