Where the wild wild flowers grow and winter waters flow
There's a place that I've always loved the best
When at last I lay me down final peace and rest I've found
Take me home to my own and there I'll rest
Take me home to my own and there I'll rest

When as a little child hopes dreams runnin' wild
Someday I'd live just like a queen a throne
Little did a poor girl how hard the way to go
So I wandered yes I wandered far from home
Yes I wandered oh I wandered far from home

Freedom was in the air you could feel it everywhere
Don't be blinded it's God's gift can't you see
Never lay your armor down til peace and rest you've found
Going home going home to be free
Going home going home to be free
