"Homeland" lyrics

"Homeland"

This is my homeland, my heart is here
These are the voices I long to hear
No matter how far I may roam
I have a homeland, I have a home
I have a homeland, I have a home

When the sun goes down
In the evening light
It moves like a ghost
Trough starry night
When serious twinkles to hypnotize
It's good to sit
And realize

This is my homeland, my heart is here
These are the voices I long to hear
No matter how far I may roam
I have a homeland, I have a home
I have a homeland, I have a home

I love her stories
And the tellers gift
I love the lonesome pipers drift
No greener fields do I need to see
These simple things
They comfort me

This is my homeland, my heart is here
These are the voices I long to hear
No matter how far I may roam
I have a homeland, I have a home
I have a homeland, I have a home

If for some reason
I had to quit
This river bench
Where I sit
I think I'd weep
For and old refrain
And never doubt
The rain again

This is my homeland, my heart is here
These are the voices I long to hear
No matter how far I may roam
I have a homeland, I have a home
I have a homeland, I have a home

This is my homeland, my heart is here
These are the voices I long to hear
No matter how far I may roam
I have a homeland, I have a home
I have a homeland, I have a home
