Dear papa I was such a young boy when I left your world
You didn't come to say goodbye, I left without your words
Dear papa I've been such a wild one, thought I'd never learn
But I fell down and kissed the ground where my feet stand now
Called you
From a thousand miles
Gonna make you proud
I'm coming home with a heart of gold
You gotta be a big man
Find your own piece a land
But I've got something better
I'm coming home with a heart of gold
Until you see me, I'll keep fighting till I'm on the tree
That you hold dearly for only two sons, let me be a leaf
Don't worry papa, I'll catch my own star, put it in your arms
You're scared I'm different, but I'm always blood
Called you
From a thousand miles
Gonna make you proud
I'm coming home with a heart of gold
You gotta be a big man
Find your own piece a land
But I've got something better
I'm coming home with a heart of gold
Mmmmm oh it's you and it's hard to be strong
Cause you choose to be old on your own
Called you
From a thousand miles
Gonna make you proud
I'm coming home with a heart of gold
And I'll choose,
When I lay it down
Diggin' in the ground
I'm coming home with a heart of gold
You gotta be a big man
Find your own piece a land
But I've got something better
I'm coming home with a heart of gold
