Drop anchor, lower the sails
We are here
Now I am standing here where it all began
A place once so close to me, now a foreign land
I look up at the sky
I call and I cry, I'm home
Bones buried beneath
The earth at my feet
Remains of a people I gravely seek
Now I've returned, answer the call
The anthem of a people I no longer know
As men we moved past their faces grew strange
Afraid of forgetting, I cling to my name
On ventures I swore I'd once return home
Not realizing that home is where I roam
Under the sky I was birthed, I walk as a stranger
My mind I imagined I'd find my rest
In this place
But my mind could only see and never know how
I feel now I'm in this place
Many of us find ourselves forever far away
Torn from a home where we never drank from the breast
Never tasted the life's milk
Surrounded by foreign tongues
You adapt and understand in many far off lands
If however you find in the dark
A star that steals your heart
Cherish that bright light
And be at home whenever it's in sight
A face and voice I remember
Not one resembles her
Blank stares and empty souls
Will never fill this hole
Set course for the open sea
Far away from this land
The only place I can call my home
Is where my two feet stand
Now I want nothing more
To flee these shores
And leave behind all this
Return to the ship
Set a course for the open sea
Let go my past family
Follow the winds of time
Create what's truly mine
Hear this tale and caution
From a soul destined to roam
Cling to your closest ones
And cherish your home
Sailing the open sea
Waves crash, lightning flash
Alone in memory
