I’ll tell you when, I’ll tell you why,

God’s only messenger just passed earth by.

It wasn’t easy but it wasn’t hard,

No more could she watch us tear ourselves apart,

And now it’s a long way, it’s a long way back home.

 

I’ll tell you how, it’s no disguise, 

God’s only messenger just searched deep inside.

It wasn’t easy but it was not hard,

She couldn’t watch us play these games anymore.

Now it’s a long way, it’s a long way back home,

And it’s a long way,it’s a long way back home.

 

Now it’s a long way, it’s a long way back to the garden.

Sunday morning just seemed the same,

But a flash of light inside your brain, 

Something shifted on a solar plane ,

Now it’s a hard road, it’s a long road back home,

It’s a long way, it’s a long way back home.

 

I’ll tell you when, I’ll tell you why

God’s only messenger just passed us by.

The sky was dark that had no light

No guardian angels now, no hope in sight.

And It’s a long way, it’s a long way back home,

Now It’s a long way, it’s a long way back home.
