Returning Home

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared

Once upon returning home

A touch of sadness but no fear

Once upon returning home

I don't know what I cried about but

Reality removed all doubt

I felt warm but all alone

Once upon returning home

Returning home

Once this place was paradise

Green and blue colors of the sea

It's still alive so it shall return

Eventually, oh, oh, oh

The sacred builders, the chosen ones

Have learned to live and let live

Once you take what's there to share

You've got to give, you got to give

Oh, don't let the changes get you down

You'll see the this world turned upside down

If you listen, you'll hear the word

When it comes around, when it comes around

Yeah

I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared

Once upon returning home

A touch of sadness but no fear

Once upon returning home

Yeah-I don't know what I cried about but

Reality removed all doubt

I felt warm but all alone

Once upon returning home

Oh-

Look around, there's work to do

A new life for the chosen few

The world sings in the same key, sweet harmony

Just when you thought you had it made

With fool's gold the road was paved

And circles get so big and wide

You can't see to the other side, other side

Oh, the long journey wore me down

To see this world turned upside down

There'll be some time before things

-Settle down-

I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared

Once upon returning home

A touch of sadness but no fear

Once upon returning home

I don't know what I cried about but

Reality removed all doubt

I felt warm but all alone

Once upon returning home

Returning home, yeah

Oh, don't let the changes get you down, no

You'll see the world turned upside down

If you listen, you'll hear the word

When it comes around, when it comes around

I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared

Once upon returning home

A tough of sadness but no fear

Once upon returning home

I don't know what I cried about but

Reality removed all doubt

I felt warm but all alone

Once upon returning home

Returning home, yeah

Oh, oh yeah

Coming home

I saw the ruins

Coming home

I saw the smoke clear

Coming home

I felt the world turn upside down

Coming home

Oh-

Coming home

Coming home

Coming home

Coming home

Coming home
