I have traveled all across the ocean
A lonely stranger on foreign shores
Far from the old ones who loved me dearly
Far from the one place that I call home

I have wandered forbidden cities
Made my wish by the wailing wall
Threw my silver in the Rio Grande
All for my dream of going home

Maybe it's the mountains high above the valley
Maybe it's the long road that winds on down
Maybe it's the sunbeams that kiss the water
Maybe it's you that keeps calling me home

I know that someday my heart will take me
To the old ground where my loved ones rest
And you'll put your arms like a coat around me
In the one place that I call home

Maybe it's the mountains high above the valley
Maybe it's the long road that winds on down
Maybe it's the sunbeams that kiss the water
Maybe it's you that keeps calling me home
