Mother please forgive me 
but I must do this on my own 
You have always given me 
the love to make me strong 
Father you have shown me 
the way to be a man 
I promise to use these virtues 
everyday the best that I can 

Mother please forgive me 
but I must do this on my own 
If the road ever gets too tired, 
I'm gonna find my way back home 

Sister with your smile 
you know you make me smile too 
Brothers we got to stick together 
because I see myself in you 
My friends I thank you kindly 
and wherever we might roam 
If the road ever gets too tired, 
I'm gonna find my way back home 

Mother please forgive me 
but I must do this on my own 
If the road ever gets too tired, 
I'm gonna find my way back home
