Song of My Returning |
The wild geese are dancing in the ripples of the morn |
My wanderlust is formed |
I’ve got to follow them wherever they may lead |
For I am just a sailor on a ship across the land |
Let me hold your hand |
To bid farewell so i can knuckle to my knees |
But I’ll be back again no matter where I go |
For it’s only love that frees the fire for burning |
Then I’ll take you in my arms and tell you all I know |
As I sing the early song of my returning |
The weary world is waiting for ambition to be played |
Now young and not afraid |
I’ve got to challenge every chalice that I know |
My eager ears are listening for the singing of the sign |
Deeper are the lines |
Upon the face that finds reflections in the road |
Yes, I’ll be back again no matter where I go |
For it’s only love that frees the fire for burning |
Then I’ll take you in my arms and tell you all I know |
As I sing the changing song of my returning |
My drifting days prepare me to do battle with the night |
A phantom of the fight |
I’ve got conquer all the courage of my fears |
The answer lies in limbo (?) and the harvest will be hard |
But sacred are the scars |
That leave their mark on the fast disolving years |
Yes, I’ll be back again no matter where I go |
For it’s only love that frees the fire for burning |
Then I’ll take you in my arms and tell you all I know |
As I sing the growing song of my returning |
Time must have her victory |
It’s that I’ve always known |
But I won or lost alone |
And when a voice calls out «there's someone you must meet» |
With every strength remaining |
I will suffer one more scene |
I’ll gather all my dreams |
And with my final breath |
I’ll lay them at your feet |
Yes, I’ll be back again no matter where I go |
For it’s only love that frees the fire for burning |
Then I’ll take you in my arms and tell you all I know |
As I sing the final song of my returning |
