I'm a Long Way from Home Lyrics

I'm a long way from home and so all alone and I'm scared like I thought I'd never be
I'm a long way from home and everything is wrong Lord please watch over me

Can't get a custom to the hunger no one seems to notice that I'm cold
This life's not making me no younger I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told
I'm a long way from home
Well last night I slept in a public mission you know you can't imagine how I felt
With things that they happened to me like they were fiction
Someone tried to steal my shoes while I slept
I'm a long way from home and so all alone
I'm a long way from home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
