Houston
As a beloved crown prince comes to reclaim,
the throne of his fathers from realm afar,
the slant of my heart as I drive - the same.
The city in eve; she shines like a star.
From desert I came; I knew in good time,
I'd breathe your fair air and bask in your breeze,
with the smell of the sea to nurture rhyme.
So soon have I come! Fate deigned me to please.
Back to the cradle I return as a man.
My eyes newly trained to see so much more ...
If life moves in circles, I know I can,
find what I seek, what I love, I adore.
My heart's near to burst; my head to careen,
I live again in land that's always green.
