Back Home to Me

Vocals and instrumentals by Phalini devi dasi

One early country mornin’

On a quiet country road

I was walkin’ chantin’ japa

Lookin’ deep inside my soul

Feelin’ sorry I’m so fallen

Disappointed in myself

Thinkin’ how’ll I ever make it 

Back home, back to Godhead?

Lamenting in my reverie

Just then, the answer came to me

So simple and so plain to see

It satisfied my soul, it satisfied my soul

(Refrain)

Just remember Me

Become My devotee

And then by My mercy

You’ll surely be released and come back home

Back home to Me

Some days I feel lonely

And some days I feel sad

Some days I feel discouraged

And some days just plain bad

But I’m learnin’ to take shelter

Of Your wise and perfect words

Yes, I’m learnin’ to stay equal through

The dualities of this world

My dear Lord Krsna, You’re so kind

You spoke the Gita which heals my mind

With words so simple and sublime

They satisfy my soul, they satisfy my soul

(Refrain)

So daily in my journey

Down life’s rocky roads

I remember what You told me

How You said You’d take me home

Your words echo inside me

They help me to go on

Even though I feel unworthy

I trust and just keep on

The hope of coming back to You

Keeps my heart and mind enthused

Helps me want to please You, too

By serving Prabhupada, by serving Prabhupada

(Refrain)
