Across the midnight sky      
i see a flash of light      
a sign of things to come a message from above       
telling me i must go       
never to return to my home      
i feel like a prisoner in this new place     
not knowing a friendly face to go back i cannot       
for i found the place that i sought      
out so long ago still i feel lonely in this new place       
i remember my home my family my friends          
never to see them again                  
i will be strong and go on for its not my place to say i dont belong           
maybe some day i will find my way back         
to see the land i left so long ago       
to smell the air to see the snow
