Verse 1
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"
Verse 2
We all 'know where it goes from there
The lie, the bite, the fall and nothin' but shame to wear
Packing their bags headed God knows where
Into a strange new place called alone
Pre-Chorus
Well, that was then, but that was now
And that was them, but that was all of us somehow
Chorus
Now we're all tryin' 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 windin' road
'Cause we're all tryin', tryin' to get back home
Post-Chorus
Mm-hmm
Verse 3
And in the beginning, we were wild and free
Nothin' 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
Chorus
Now we're all trying to get back home (Back home)
Back to the place where the heart knows it belongs
So be kind to yourself (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 tryin' to get back home
Bridge
We're all tryin'
To get back home
We're all tryin' (We're all tryin' to get back home)
To get back home (We're all just tryin' to get back home)
And we're all tryin' (We're all tryin' to get back home)
To get back home (We're all just tryin' to get back home)
You are not alone, not alone (We're all tryin' to get back home)
We're all tryin' to get back home (We're all just tryin' to get back home)
You are not alone, we're all tryin' (We're all tryin' to get back home)
To get back home, oh (We're all just tryin' to get back home)
(We're all tryin' to get back home)
We're all tryin' (We're all just tryin' to get back home)
To get back home (We're all tryin' to get back home)
(We're all just tryin' to get back home)
Chorus
So be kind to yourself and everyone else
On this long and windin' road
And don't you believe it if you start feelin' alone
We're all just tryin' to get back home
