He opened the door and walked away
Sometimes a selfless step is all it takes
From the mountain  he can watch it all burn
Welcome friend  to the point of no return
Once in a life  you can find a time to see
And you get to turn it down  turn around  temporary sanity
And then the mountain disappears without a trace
All it took  was a sudden leap of faith
(Homeward  let your spirit rise  )
Darling  I'm waiting for you
(Homeward  one step at a time)

(Homeward  watch it like a child)
When will I reach the ocean
(I'm filled with mixed emotion)
(I'll wait for you)
(I'll wait for you)
I'm waiting for you baby
(I'll wait for you)
(I'll wait for you)
How and why
And the bough broke back to sea( )
He was overcome  by how it happened all so easily
And as he stood there  with the moonlight on his face
He was stunned by a sudden leap of faith
Darling  I'm waiting for you
(Homeward  one step at a time)
(Homeward  watch it like a child)
When will I reach the ocean
Moving in slow motion now
(You know it's the truth)
(You've done all a man can do)
 long instrumental  scat break
Homeward  let your spirit rise

Homeward  one step at a time
Homeward  watch it like a child
Homeward  let your spirit rise
Homeward  one step at a time
Homeward  watch it like a child
Homeward
