Once I Had a Home |
| Once I had a home |
| I still have the key |
| I take it everywhere I go |
| To prove that all I’ve said is so |
| And all the world can see |
| The walls were painted blue |
| The front door carved by hand |
| And generations of my kin |
| And strangers, all were welcomed in |
| When they walked upon my land |
| Pray for us all |
| And the nameless, the fallen |
| The faceless forgotten |
| Once I had a home |
| Olive trees once grew |
| Where mounds of rubble stand |
| A man can feel himself a king |
| When water flows from well and spring |
| And peaceful is the land |
| Pray for us all… |
| The stars shine down on bone and skin |
| On wire and walls that hold us in |
| On roads that can’t lead home again |
| Pray for us all… |
