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)

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
