I'm knocking on death's door
Will I take my rest among the blessed?

Mother, are you waiting?
Father, are you pacing?
I'm coming home

I'm knocking on death's door
Come to take my rest in my Sunday best

Mother, are you anxious?
Father, are you gracious?
I'm coming home

I've been away so long
For so long it was strong

I've been away so long
I know that it was wrong
But I'm coming home

Well, I'm knocking on death's door
Will I take my rest? Have I passed the test?

Mother, are you praying?
Father, I'm saying
I'm coming home
