Away From Home
Years have gone by
and I still cannot keep steady in the sky
You have been working on me
For more than half a century
going up and down the galaxy
floating in the air and you
have left me suffering down here
I don’t know how to fly or I would fly
I don’t know how to sing or I would sing
But I can compose beautiful rhythm
You have taken me to this place
where everyday is the same
and dreams come apart with the breeze
and there is no compassion in the trees
The days are aligned with the moon
And my heart is still searching for truth
I am far away from home
And the bus is onward bound
How much longer must I tarry in this place?
When destiny is waiting at the gate
You have left me this place
and it feels like a hundred years since I am here
My body has grown thin
and my eyes are getting dim
I don’t know anyone in this town
And sometime I feel all alone
I have absorb myself with work
As I move around in the dirt
I am clinging on to the
cobweb in the ceiling
And I watched them coming and going
With guns strapped to their sides
And big tankers rolling by
I watched the mountain move into the sea
And the fire burning in my feet
All the trees are getting old and
My heart is composing a song
for the dying ones
I am traveling with my bag
and my heart is feeling sad
But when you came along
You open the door and
courage fill my soul
And everyone trapped inside
Came out with joy and pride
And hungry hearts display the symbol of love
And blessings start pouring from above.
I have waited all these years to get here
And now I am finally home.
give me water to wash my feet
and something delicious to eat.
I am home!
