Let's go back for a moment in our minds To a time when the world was smaller, only us five Mom and Dad were our everything The King and the Queen And despite any struggle, we had all we could need Run to the fort we built in the Ironwood tree Swing from there all day long what a sweet memory Such a sweet memory A few years have gone by since those days We are all very different, yet the same in some ways We've been all over and how the world has grown Yet wherever I've been the thought of us brings me back home No way to avoid the waves, oh the tide shall rise and fall But that's what makes the times we laugh and cry sweetest of them all The sweetest of them all And when we are old and gray many years from now And if our memories have gone away, Lord I pray that you allow Just a few of the sweetest times to remain To keep us strong until we are all home again Home again Back home again
