about

The inspiration for this song came as I was finishing up a long walk with my dog, Hobbs. I saw a group of trees ahead of us and thought, "Just up ahead we'll be closer to home". Well, that did it! As soon as we got home, I started writing!

lyrics

We're beginning to see
At the end of this tunnel
A light that is shining
It's not very far
We're beginning to feel
An end to the struggle
Of searching to find
Where the sea meets the sky

And you and I
Have tried
You and I
Have cried

Just up ahead
We'll be closer to home
How far we have gone
Since starting to roam
The path has been stranger
Than any we've known
Just up ahead
We'll be closer to home

The ship we have sailed
On the sea of isolation
Has piloted waves
Of anger and fear
But we've turned the bow round
Looking for consolation
For the days we have spent
Closing our eyes

And you and I
Have tried
You and I
Have cried

Just up ahead
We'll be closer to home
How far we have gone
Since starting to roam
The path has been stranger
Than any we've known
Just up ahead
We'll be closer to home
