Lyrics

God gave me travelling shoes,
God gave me the wanderer’s eye,
God gave me a few gold coins to help me to the other side.
Looked around and said « Be careful how the small things grow, »
God gave me travelling shoes,
And I knew it was time to go.Sent in the ship at night,
To take me to the hidden port.
Found me the key at last,
To open up the prison door.
Brought down the blackbird’s wings,
Gifted me with beggar’s eyes.
Sent in the jackals,
To tell me I should say bye, bye, bye.I’m home,
Home,
Home,
Home,
Home.

And I’m home,
Home,
Home,
Home,
Home.

But I’m miles and miles and miles,
Miles and miles away.
Where can I hide?

God gave me one last chance,
Gave me one last reprieve.
Jah gave me hunger,
Gave me the air to breath.
Gave me one suitcase,
Gave me one last goodbye.
Gave me travelling shoes,
Without them I would surely die.

Home,
Home,
Home,
Home,
Home.

Home,
Home,
Home,
Home,
Home.

I’m miles and miles and miles,
Miles and miles away.
I’m miles and miles and miles,
Miles and miles away.
Where do I go?
Where can I hide?

Home,
Home,
Home,
Home,
Home.

And I’m home,
Home,
Home,
Home,
Home.

And I’m miles away.
Miles away.
Miles away.
