Lyrics
#title: Homeland #tempo: Moderato #key: D Minor #structure: AABACB {Verse 1} Where on earth can I be Far from the noise and the needs? Far from the highways that twist and pull me down, Just a quiet stretch of ground. One last glance behind, I hold it close, a fragile bind, This wild land, this sacred space in my mind, Though I leave it all behind. {Chorus} Homeland, shelter me, Close my eyes, whisper me to sleep. Keep me strong, stay with me, Don’t let me fall away, Won't you stay? {Verse 2} O, my wandering heart, Tell me, where did it start? This yearning, this sorrow, this hollow ache inside, Is it something I can hide? It's my freedom I crave most of all, For that, I’d answer every call, oh mercy, please! If I could be whole or have a piece of it all, Is there anything I can keep? {Chorus} Homeland, shelter me, Close my eyes, whisper me to sleep. Keep me strong, stay with me, Don’t let me fall away, Won't you stay? {Bridge} Come now, my shadowed soul, What's it like to feel whole? To roam this earth, with roots that run deep, To stand and claim the dreams I keep. {Chorus} Homeland, shelter me, Close my eyes, whisper me to sleep. Keep me strong, stay with me, Don’t let me fall away, Won't you stay? {Outro} Homeland, you carry me Through every step, a memory. Though far I wander, I feel you near, A part of me, forever here.
