VOCES8 sings Goin' Home by Antonin Dvorak, arranged by Jim Clements in the Nikolai Kirche in Plön, Germany.

TEXT
English source: William Arms Fisher

Goin' home, goin' home,
I'm a goin' home;
Quiet like, some still day,
I'm just goin' home.

It's not far, just close by,
Through an open door;
Work all done, care laid by,
goin' to fear no more.

Mother's there 'specting me,
Father's waiting too;
Lots of folk gathered there,
All the friends I knew.

Nothin' lost, all's gain,
No more fret nor pain,
No more stumblin' on the way,
No more longin' for the day,
Goin' to roam no more!

Mornin' star lights the way,
Restless dreams all done;
Shadows gone, break o'day,
Real life just begun.

There's no break, there's no end,
Just a livin' on;
Wide awake, with a smile
Goin' on and on.

Goin' home, goin' home,
I'm just goin' home.
It's not far, just close by,
Through an open door;

I'm just goin' home.
Goin' home. ​​​​​​​​
