Religious Music – Goin' Home lyrics
Goin' home, goin' home,
I am goin' home,
Quiet light, some still day,
I am goin' home.

It ain't far, Jes' close by,
Through an open door,
Work all done, care laid by,
Goin' t' fear no more.

Mother's there, 'spectin' me,
Father's waitin' too,
Lots o' folks gathered there,
All the friends I knew.

Nothin's lost, all is gain,
No more fret nor pain,
No more stumblin' on the way,
No more sweat n' strain.

Mornin' star lights the way,
Restless dream all done,
Shadows gone, break of day,
Real life has begun.

There's no break, there's no end,
Just a livin' on,
Wide awake with a smile,
Goin' on an' on.

Goin' home, goin' home,
I am goin' home.
Here am I, all alone,
I am goin' home.

I am goin' home.

Note: Based on an old Negro Spiritual sung
By slaves who were nearing death.

    I don't know what in the world you are going on about.

    This is a song about dying and being reunited with loved ones. The hell does slavery have to do with this?


    Has nothing to do with slavery. White people wrote it. Dvorak composed it. Stop making everything about race and appropriating white culture.



    Thank you.

    the deepest hope and desire for God's justice after a lifetime of slavery, brutality and depredation with family breakups and members sold away.never to be seen again.
    Truly heart-breaking to contemplate. Sadder than sad.
    Played it many times on my harmonica. Always stirred me.
    Simply have to play it again......NOW
