Going Home

Tell your sister and your brother

Tell your father and your mother

Tell your friend and tell your lover

"We are going home."

Tell the lion and the lamb

Go tell every lonely man

Tell them of the promised land

Oh, we're going home

Tell the sun and tell the moon

Join with them in broken tune

Tell them that we're going soon

Soon, we're going home

The earth is cold and darker still

There ain't no hiding in its hills

We are lost and lonely 'til

You tell us come on home

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief

Open wide your eyes and see

Everything we could have been

It's time to go home

Come forgotten, scarred, and scorned

Come ye empty, lone, and worn

See the curtain that's been torn

To welcome us home

Our bones cry out beneath our skin

To wash these hands of all their sins

Oh heaven, let us in

We want to come home.
