Home Lyrics

God gave me travelling shoes,
God gave me the wanderer's eye,
God gave me a few gold coins to help me to the other side.
Looked around and said - be careful how the small things grow,
When God gives you travelling shoes,
And I knew that it is time to go.

Then sent in the ship at night,
To take me to a hidden port.
Slipped me the key at last,
To open up the prison door.
Robbed a blackbird's wings,
Gifted me with beggar's eyes.
Sent to the jackals,
To tell me I should say bye, bye, bye.

Home,
Home,
Home,
Home,
Home.
Miles and miles and miles away
Where can I hide

So God gave me one last chance
Gave me one last reprieve.
He then gave me hunger,
Gave me the air to breath.
Gave me one suitcase,
Gave me one last goodbye.
Gave me travelling shoes,
Without them I would surely die, die, die

Home,
Home,
Home,
Home,
Home.
Miles and miles and miles away
Where do I go
Where can I hide
