Father's House - Looking for a Place Lyrics

Looking for a place
To lay my weary head
Seems like yesterday's dead and gone
I wish that I could have lived
Back in the day
Cause it's too loud, it's too smart
And I ain't got the heart
There's a place that I see
There's peace and serenity
There's no more pain
And a lot more to gain
There's a place that I see
There's hope and tranquility
Waitin' for a place to rest my head
Waitin' for a place to rest my head
My family's long past and gone
The few around console my soul
I think of the better days behind
Where Dad was there for me to lean
He understood just what I mean
Guess I'll wait for another day, another time
There's a place that I see
There's peace and serenity
There's no more pain
And a lot more to gain
There's a place that I see
There's hope and tranquility
Waitin' for a place to rest my head
I think I'd like a place to rest my head
All alone with my thoughts to myself
Waitin' for the rainy days to pass
I have friends all around
They love me even when I'm down
It's all I have, and it'll have to be enough
It's all I have, and it'll have to be enough
I walk the hours and time away
Wonderin' what could have been
Worryin' about the things that lie ahead
I'm trapped in the here and now
Stuck in this world of mine
There's only one place to look
And that's up
And there's a place that I see
There's peace and serenity
There's no more pain
And a lot more to gain
And there's a place that I see
There's hope and tranquility
Waitin' for a place to rest my head
I think I'd like a place to rest my head
I know there is a place to rest my head
