[If the interpretation of “home” is the afterlife] This song is about “The journey home. A clear, fresh evening, quiet, restful. Thoughts are comforting, memories are warm and sweet. The air is so still reflection comes easy. A gentle snow may cocoon us and can deaden the night sounds, The mind can dwell on the good things in life as, with each step, one joyful thought begets another. The journey home is filled with the anticipation and excitement of arrival – family, friends, those we love. The solitary path has more room for wishes, in that stillness, in that night, going home.”

Lyrics
I have been given
One moment from heaven
As I am walking
Surrounded by night,
Stars high above me
Make a wish under moonlight.
On my way home
I remember
Only good days.
On my way home
I remember all the best days.
One moment from heaven
As I am walking
Surrounded by night,
Stars high above me
Make a wish under moonlight.
On my way home
I remember
Only good days.
On my way home
I remember all the best days.
I’m on my way home
I can remember
Every new day.
I can remember
Every new day.
I move in silence
With each step taken,
Snow falling round me
Like angels in flight,
Far in the distance
With each step taken,
Snow falling round me
Like angels in flight,
Far in the distance
Is my wish under moonlight
On my way home
I remember
Only good days.
On my way home
I remember all the best days.
I’m on my way home
I can remember
Every new day.
I remember
Only good days.
On my way home
I remember all the best days.
I’m on my way home
I can remember
Every new day.
