[Verse 1]
Mama, it's been far too long
Since I've been back home and we sang a song
But time's gone by like a cloudy day
It just fell away like a drop of rain

[Chorus]
But hey, I'm on my way
Hey
Hey, I'm on my way
I hate that we've had to wait

[Verse 2]
Papa, I do pray you're well
That a worried thought never comes around
I got your blood and I got your name
If I got your will I should be okay

[Chorus]
But hey, I'm on my way
I hope that you've been ok
Hey, I'm on my way
I hate that we've had to wait

[Verse 3]
Sister, I've been missing you
We saw the world and we made it through
You've held my hand and you've wiped my tears
Lord it feels like a hundred years
[Chorus]
But hey, I'm on my way
I pray that you've been ok
Hey, I'm on my way
I hate that we've had to wait

[Interlude]
(Mm, mm-mm)
(Mm, mm-mm)
(Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm, mm)
(Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm, mm)

[Verse 4]
Brother, you've been on my mind
All I want is to see you smile
Though you've gone to the Galilee
I know your heart is next to me

[Chorus]
But hey, I'm on my way
Hey
Hey, I'm on my way
I hate that we've had to wait
Yeah, I hate that we've had to wait
