If I should close my eyes

That my soul can see

And there's a place at the table

That you saved for me

So many thousand miles

O'er land and sea

I hope to dare

That you hear my prayer

And somehow I'll be there

There's but a concrete floor

Where my head will lay

And the walls of this prison

Are as cold as clay

But there's a shaft of light

Where I count my days

So don't despair

Of the empty chair

And somehow I'll be there

Some days I'm strong

Some days I'm weak

And days when I'm broken

I can barely speak

There's a place in my head

Where my thoughts still roam

And somehow I've come home

And when the winter comes

And the trees lie bare

And you just stare out the window

In the darkness there

Well I was always late

For every meal, you'll swear

But keep my place

And the empty chair

And somehow I'll be there

And somehow I'll be there
