I lived most of my life, from young to half-way old
Listening and learning, and doing as I was told
So long from the Son, with a heart made of stone
So far, so far away, so far away from my home
I grew up a non-believer, you could say I guess
Getting but not giving, and the world in such a mess
So long from the Son, in the darkness I would roam
So far, so far away, so far away from my home
I changed from a young boy into a man
And from a man to a soldier, as a soldier I ran
So long from the Son, and my countrys throne
I was so far, so far away, so far away from my home
I travelled to foreign countries, was a stranger in their land
Knowing my Master, but making my own plans
So long from the Son, like a wound that's never sewn
I was so far, so far away, so far away from my home
My whole life was a burden of lies, deceit and shame
Trouble and strife were my middle name
Then along came the Son in the glory of His own
When I was far, so far away, so far away from my home
So if you believe that Jesus, is just one big bluff
And you walk around believing that you just ain´t good enough
If you're far from the Son, and you're all alone
You're not so far, you're not so far away, you're not so far away from your home
