Calling 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.
If I was a tree, if I was another flower, if I was the sea,
If I was another river, if I was the sun, if I was the moonlit mountain
If I was a bird, if I was the dinosaur, if I was the whale,
If I was another dolphin, If I wasn't me,
what would there be left of loving?
Strange was the day of dawn & I would have seen it all,
All times would have passed me by
and I heard the blackbirds singing...
songs from the deep of dawn, Mothers of Earth and Sea
what would I possibly be... without love
Now, were not that far away, soon enough we ride them starships
See how we work the play, time will tell... to touch the stargates
Eagerly we send our dreams, into the big black void
Flesh and bone, now lift us up, from the dusty dreams,
A billion hearts, a song within
Running home, running high, send your heart, touch the sky
Hurry home, hurry by, to your home in the sky...
Free from the bad old ways, soon set for the Silver Mountains
See how the children play, closer to what's coming soon
Eagerly they drop their dreams into the big black void
Flesh and bone hold them back, like the rusty chains,
Coming strong... but loosing late
Running home, running high, send your heart, to the sky
Hurry home, hurry by, to your home, in the sky...
Calling home, calling love, send your dreams, back to me
Running home, running high, knowing love, cover me
We put no trust in the goverment
All got it wrong, no one heaven sent
Papermen pin down the elements
Try to control the environment
Running high, running free
Another you, another me
Out of sleep, out of touch
All too much, all too much
Look at the world from a different pace
You run the show from a dirrerent space
Numbers and words, not saving grace
Gently the years in your Fathers face
Running high, running free
Another you, another me
Out of sleep, out of touch
All too much, all too much
Running home, running high send your heart to the sky
Hurry home, hurry by, to your home in the sky...
Calling home, calling love, send your dreams back to me
Running home, running high, knowing love will cover me...
