Coming Home

Over the wires the news were in

They are fighting off trouble in a land far away

They are fighting for freedom here this day

I grabbed my bags, they didn't have to call me in

I have turned so many corners never asking the way

My Friends and family they don't understand

But I'm heading off anyway

Tell them, I'll be coming home again

Over the wires they are fighting for and against

And when they stop you can be sure then it will be too late

Then there is no telling where we'll be

I lay my head down in the dirt of this land

For centuries these hills have carved men out of blood and sand

All the Gods have left cuz if they didn't they'd be dead

Here things are simple and a man can easily forget

That he'll be coming home again

Over the wires you saw them coming down the hills

The masses gathered at the gates, then the signal got killed

We had to push on or it would all be in vain

And I'm the only witness to my sins

A paradise was lost and her rivers are running red

There was a cause but people they tend to forget

I'll carry her tears 'till the day I shall fall

Until the day that God calls me to his halls

Then I'll be returning back home

Then I'll be coming home again
