Red Barchettadrive Poet Lyric

Homeward Bound Lyrics Contest Submission

I am newborn,
eyes just opened...
Can you tell me where I am?

I am so cold,
I am trembling...
Can you warm me with your hand?

Will you love me?
Love forever?
Will you tend to me 
so I can grow?

I am tender,
I need someone...
If you can love me
let me know.   

Hallelieu...
hallelujah
hallelu-jah 
to my soul's song.  

Hallelieu...
I am about to go.
So, please don't forget my song.

I'm in motion,
room is spinning...
Mommy's dying,
I cry, "Don't go!"  

I am so scared,
please don't leave me...
I just got here, just come unwound.  

Tell me, Jesus
can I come too
if my mother's homeward bound?
I am begging, I am praying...
If you take her, take me too.

Hallelieu...
hallelujah
hallelu-jah 
it's my soul's song.  

Hallelieu...
So, please don't forget my song.
I just need to be with her.

I am homeward, I am homeward
thank you Jesus, I am with her.
So thankful we're together,
thankful, I'm with her.

Hallelieu...
hallelujah
hallelu-jah 
it's my soul's song.  

Hallelieu...
So, please don't forget my song.
I just need to be with her.

I just need to be with her....
