Trying To Get Back Home

In the beginning
God said let there be
He breathed his life into everything
The garden air
Was pure and sweet
And the birds sang welcome home
We all know where it goes from there
The lie, the bite, the fall
And nothing but shame to wear
Packing their bags
Headed God knows where
Into a strange new place called alone

Well, that was then
But that was now
And that was them
But that was all of us somehow

Now we're all trying to get back home
Back to the place
Where the heart knows it belongs
So be kind to yourself
And to everyone else
On this long and winding road
Cause we're all just trying
Trying to get back home

And in the beginning
We were wild and free
Nothing to hide
And nothing we had to be
Not afraid to dance
And not ashamed to sing
Cause we knew we couldn't do it wrong

Now we're all trying to get back home
Back to the place
Where the heart knows it belongs
So be kind to yourself
And everyone else
On this long and winding road
And don't believe it
If you start feelin' alone
Cause we're all just trying to get back home

We're all trying
To get back home
We're all trying
To get back home
And we're all trying
To get back home
You are not alone
Not alone
We're all trying to get back home

You are not alone
We're all trying to get back home

We're all trying
To get back home

So be kind to yourself
And everyone else
On this long and winding road
And don't you believe it
If you start feelin' alone
We're all just trying to get back home
