"Take This Body Home" lyrics

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be at your back
May all the rains fall with tenderness
On the fields and forgotten tracks

May your hardened heart be woken
By the soft and distant song
Of all you left here unspoken
All the shards we keep stepping on

Take this body home
Take this body home
Call the wind, and let her know
Take this life outgrown
Take this broken soul
Call the stars, call them all
And take it, high take it far, take it home

May the dark and bitter feelings
Take the path to quiet release
May all your wounds find their healing
In the last and enduring sleep

Take this body home
Take this body home
Call the wind, and let her know
Take this life outgrown
Take this broken soul
Call the stars, call them all
And take it high, take it far, take it home
Take it high, take it far, take it home
Home
Home

Take it high, take it far, take it home
Take it high, take it far, take it home
Oh take it high, take it far, take it home
