The Closer I Get Lyrics

I called home
Got my daddy on the phone
I said I sure would, I said I wish I could
Come back home
I was wrong to be gone so long
I had to be free, I had to be me
Now I'm coming home

And the closer I get, the clearer I see
That You don't want my freedom
Only the best for me
And the closer I get, I can see in Your eyes
Love shining out to me
Love shining out to me

My money's gone
And all my friends are too
Sin took me far, sin left in scars
Now I'm through
One more hill, now it won't be long
Is that You I see reaching out to me
Now I'm coming home

And the closer I get, the clearer I see
That You don't want my freedom
Only the best for me
And the closer I get, I can see in Your eyes
Love shining out to me
Love shining out to me

Everywhere I go, everything I do
Something calls me back to you
I've never understood how you ever could
Love me like You do

And the closer I get, the clearer I see
That You don't want my freedom
Only the best for me
And the closer I get, I can see in Your eyes
Love shining out to me

And the closer I get, the clearer I see
That You don't want my freedom
Only the best for me
And the closer I get, I can see in Your eyes
Love shining out to me
Love shining out to me
