Going Home
A song for the sailor lost out to sea
A song for the mother who always will grieve
A song for the soldier who lays down his life
A song for the woman who once was his wife
A song for the traveler down on his luck
A circus man plying his trade for a buck
A song for the child who’s lost in the night
Though she’s never seen stars she still clings to their light
Going Home
Going Home
A song for the mistress who dares to believe
Wiping the tears from her eyes with her sleeve
A song for the poet who runs out of time
Before she can finish her famous last…
A song for the miner who digs out the coal
And dreams of a life somewhere far from this hole
A song for the rebel who gave up the fight
Haunted by guilt cause he still knows he’s right
Going Home
Going Home
A song for the lovers who never will meet
Star-crossed and stumbling out on the street
A song for the preacher down on his knees
Praying for answers he never quite sees
A song for the ones who run into the fire
To put out the flames of this world on its pyre
A song for the driver who runs out of road
With nobody there to help shoulder the load
Going Home
Going Home
A song for the drinker who puts down the glass
A song for the jumper who takes a step back
A song for the wanderer home now at last
A song for redemption from sins of the past
A song for forgiveness that opens a door
A song for the good friends who gather once more
A song for the prisoner finally free
A song for the veil that is lifted, lifted, lifted…
Going Home
Going Home
Going Home
A song for the singer, a song for the dance
A song for the mystic who yearns for the trance
Going Home
A song for the beggar, a song for the thief
A song for the hunger that has no relief
Going Home
A song for the baby who sleeps until dawn
A song for the birds that will sing on and on
Going Home
A song for the sunrise, a song for the day
A song for the veil that is lifted
