*Verse 1* Sometimes I look beyond the clouds And wonder what's up there, A place where all the broken things Are healed beyond repair. I long to see my Father's house, The place where I belong, Where every tear I've ever cried Has finally come and gone. I don't pretend I love this world, I've walked its darkest roads. I've carried things I never chose, I've borne some heavy loads. And sometimes my heart whispers, *"There's somewhere else for you."* But then I hear a still, small voice say, *"There's work I've called you to."* *Chorus* **I wanna go home, Yeah, I long to go home, To the place beyond the veil Where I'll never walk alone. But I'm not done here, There's still a road to run, There are words that must be spoken, There are battles yet to come. So I'll stay here until You call me, I'll finish what You've begun. I'll keep walking through this wilderness Till my race is finally run. And when my work is finished, When my earthly days are done, I'll lift my eyes toward Heaven And hear You say, **"Well done, My son."** *Verse 2* There are people I must reach here, There are things I have to do. There are stories still unwritten That You've placed inside me too. There's a purpose in the suffering, A reason I can't see, And maybe all these broken years Are shaping who I'll be. So I won't curse the road I'm on, Though some days I don't understand. I'll put my future in Your hands And trust Your greater plan. If Heaven is my destination, Then this journey has a reason. I won't leave before the calling ends, I won't run before the season. *Chorus* **I wanna go home, Yeah, I long to go home, To the place beyond the veil Where I'll never walk alone. But I'm not done here, There's still a road to run, There are words that must be spoken, There are battles yet to come. So I'll stay here until You call me, I'll finish what You've begun. I'll keep walking through this wilderness Till my race is finally run. And when my work is finished, When my earthly days are done, I'll lift my eyes toward Heaven And hear You say, **"Well done, My son."** *Bridge* I don't have to understand The reason for each scar. I just have to keep on walking Toward the One who knows where we are. Every sunrise is a promise. Every breath is borrowed time. Every day that You have given me Is another chance to shine. So Heaven, wait for me. I'm coming when I'm called. But until that trumpet sounds, I'll give You everything I've got. *Final Chorus* **I wanna go home, Oh Lord, I long to go home, Where the gates are standing open And Your presence fills the throne. But there's purpose in my staying, There's still something left to do. So I'll carry what You've given me Until I bring it back to You. And when my work is finished, When I've given all I've got, When I've reached the final mile And I've fought the final fight, I'll lay these earthly burdens down, And I'll finally understand— I wasn't lost here in this world. I was being led by Your hand. And when my work is done, When my final race is run, I'll leave this earthly wilderness And finally go home. **Home to where I belong.** *Outro* Until then, I'll keep walking. Until then, I'll keep believing. Until then, I'll keep searching For the purpose You've given me. Heaven isn't calling me away today— **It's waiting for me when my work is done.**
