I recall

The time when you and I would talk a little more

To each other face to face, through love and war

Well I hope there will always be an open door for me

But I know, that home is just some place I always leave behind

It's with me everywhere I go and I close my eyes

I know someday I'll catch you in the by and by, I know

I know

Dear mother

I know I have been away for far too long

Dear mother

Hope you understand me when you hear this song

Cause you taught how to be right in a world of wrong

Gone wrong

But it ain't

Ain't how long you live, it's how you live your life

Burn bright until the grave don't shy away from the light

Cause I won't waste my days

I will use my time

My time, my time

Dear father

I know I have been away for far too long

Dear father

Hope you understand me when you hear this song

Cause you taught how to be right in a world of wrong

Gone wrong

I recall

The time when you and I would talk a little more

To each other face to face, through love and war

Well I hope there will always be an open door for me
