This song was sung at my dad's funeral by John Terry and Heather Terry. It was beautiful. It's called "going home" off the soundtrack to the movie Gods & Generals. It was one of my dads favorite movies.
"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."

Those words are really great to read. I'll have to look it up and listen to it. I also like the picture, very serene. And it's nice knowing that your Dad can literally be with you wherever you go now.
