Mary Fahl and a great song about The Civil War!



A couple years ago, I heard "Going Home". It was the opening song from Gods and Generals, a Civil War movie:

"A moving portrayal of a nation divided, Gods and Generals begins in early 1861 and continues through 1863, climaxing with the stunning Battle of Chancellorsville." (Story)

Mary Fahl has a great voice and this is a great song:

"They say there's a place where dreams have all gone

They never said where but I think I know

It's miles through the night just over the dawn

on the road that will take me home

I know in my bones I've been here before

The ground feels the same though the land's been torn

I've a long way to go The stars tell me so

on this road that will take me home

Love waits for me 'round the bend

Leads me endlessly on

Surely sorrows shall find their end

and all our troubles will be gone

And I'll know what I've lost

and all that I've won

when the road finally takes me home

And when I pass by don't lead me astray

Don't try to stop me

Don't stand in my way

I'm bound for the hills where cool waters flow

on this road that will take me home

Love waits for me 'round the bend

Leads me endlessly on

Surely sorrows shall find their end and all our troubles will be gone

And we'll know what we've lost

and all that we've won

when the road finally takes me home

I'm going home I'm going home I'm going home......"
