Lyrics Going Home - Branches

Going Home

Tell your sister and your brother
Tell your father and your mother
Tell your friend and tell your lover
We are going home
Tell the lion and the lamb
Go tell every lonely man
Tell them of the promised land
Oh, we’re going home
Tell the sun and tell the moon
Join with them in broken tune
Tell them that we’re going soon
Soon we’re going home
The earth is cold and darker still
Evening hiding in its hills
We are lost and lonely 'til
Tell us come on home
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Open wide your eyes and see
Everything we couldn’t be
Time to go home
Come forgotten, scarred, and scorned
Come the empty, lone, and worn
See the curtain that’s been torn
Welcome us home
Our bones cry out beneath our skin
Wash these hands of all their sins
All heaven let us sing
We want to come home
Our bones cry out beneath our skin
Wash these hands of all their sins
All heaven let us sing
We want to come home.
