Black cars in line
The family has arrived
The church fills up
They’ve come to say goodbye
If this was my last day
What would they have to say?
Did I live a life of love
Did I give myself away
Will my kids think of you
When they speak my name
Was I always full of hope
Always reaching out
I wanna cross the finish line
And know I made it count
Before you call me home
Before you call me home
I wanna be a man
Who builds his children up
With a wife who feels
Like she’s been truly loved
And if I’ve let them down
Lord help me start right now
I wanna live a life of love
I wanna give myself away
I want my kids to think of you
When they speak my name
Always full of hope
Always reaching out
I wanna cross the finished line
And know I made it count
Before you call me home
Before you call me home
And when I finally close my eyes
And wake up on the other side
With my life laid out in the sun
I wanna hear you say well done, well done
I wanna live a life of love
I wanna give myself away
I want my kids to think of you
When they speak my name
Always full of hope
Always reaching out
I wanna cross the finish line
And know I made it count
Before you call me home
Before you call me home
Before you call me home
Before you call me home
(Before you call me home)…
