Verse 1 I walked a thousand roads, with shadows on my back Chasing broken dreams, always off the track The night was my prison, the streets were my chains But I kept your faces burning in my veins Pre-Chorus Every mile I wandered, I carried your name Every silent sunrise, it all felt the same Chorus Now I’m home, after all the storms I’ve known Through the fire, through the pain, I found my way again But the years are gone, they slipped like sand from my hands I’m a stranger at the door, where my daughter used to stand Verse 2 Your picture on the wall kept the darkness away I swore I’d be there, but the price I had to pay Bars and cold steel, that was my world While outside the seasons turned, and you grew into a girl Every letter I wrote was a prayer in disguise Every night I dreamed I’d see your eyes Chorus Now I’m home, after all the storms I’ve known Through the fire, through the pain, I found my way again But the years are gone, they slipped like sand from my hands I’m a stranger at the door, where my daughter used to stand Bridge I traded time for nothing, I sold my soul for angels dust The deals that I made turned everything to rust Now I stand here broken, with nothing but regret Trying to love a child I never really met Final Chorus Now I’m home, but the past won’t let me go I can’t buy back the days, or the child I’ll never know Still I’ll fight for love, though the years cut me deep I lost too much to the shadows, too much I couldn’t keep Final chorus: An angel lost in the dust an angel lost in the dust All the years are gone But finally I found home
