Far Away From Home

Just a step and here I am
Just a step and far away from home
No Mama’s kisses, no Daddy’s scold
No sweet words when I am down in the cold
No beloved’s arm to walk me there
No soothing voice when trouble seems to care
And all this because I am far away from home!
I’m far away from home
Far from the land where I roamed
Far from my loved ones, far from my dear ones
Far in this land of gold.
But someday I hope to be back
In the place I belong
In the sanctity of her arms
In the warmth of my home.
And if I were to die 
Here far away from home.
Let them know my dear God
I loved them
No matter if I was far away from home!
