lyrics

COME HOME

You remember how it used to be
Those days when none of us were truly free
Things changed and everybody feared the worst
And you escaped before the bubble burst

But some afternoons there’s a scent in the air
Of mountains and thunderstorms and you can hear it:

“Come home – come home
where did you go? Come home.
You’re not yourself until you’re here with me
Please stop running like a refugee
Come home…”

Sure – we could all be better off
These days every push has come to shove
But things change ‘cos everybody wants the best
And she who lives under curse will be blessed

You are a child of this earth, you belong
To the Southern Cross, to these fields of sunlight
