Closer to Home

The gravel shifts beneath your feet
You're walking down a one way street
And on this street you can not turn around
There's travellers alongside you
You wonder where they're travelling to
The message of your life starts to resound

If only you'd have known
Just how short life was
If only you'd have known
What's worth living for
If only you'd have known
You might have made a choice
If only you'd have known
Heavens coming closer to home

The crowds around you fade away
All the colours blend to grey
Your whole life just flashed before your eyes
Grasping for the one who's near
The world around you disappears
Stripped, you can't depend on your disguise

If only you'd have known
Just how short life was
If only you'd have known
What's worth living for
If only you'd have known
You might have made a choice
If only you'd have known
Heavens coming closer to home
