I know it's been a long long journey

I know you're tired from your trip

I can see your pace is slowin' down

An' I can feel you're losin' your grip

I know it must seem like a million miles

But you'll never be all alone

I'll be with you ev'ry step

So John please take us on home



Take us on home John

Take us on home

Take us on home

Where we can rest our weary bones



We know at the end of this journey

Another one'll soon begin

We know it's a constant struggle

The game of life is hard to win

Maybe someday when it's better

We'll set our hearts at ease from now on

But now all we got is each other

So John please take us on home



Take us on home John

Take us on home

Take us on home

Where we can rest our weary bones



Maybe when the struggle is over

We'll have a brand new life

You'll be a golden chariot

And I'll have wings to fly

We'll sail away over golden streets

If there's such a thing goin' on

But we ain't made it to Heaven yet

So John please take us on home



Take us on home John

Take us on home

Take us on home

Where we never more will roam...
