Returning Home

I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared (Once upon returning home) A touch of sadness but no fear (Once upon returning home) I don't know what I cried about but Reality removed all doubt I felt warm but all alone (Once upon returning home) Returning home Once this place was paradise Green and blue, the colors of the sea It's still alive, so it shall return Eventually (Oh, oh, oh) The sacred builders, the chosen ones Have learned to live and let live Once you take, what's there to share? You've got to give, you've got to give Oh, don't let the changes get you down You'll see this world turned upside down If you listen, you'll hear the word When it comes around, when it comes around, yeah I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared (Once upon returning home) A touch of sadness but no fear (Once upon returning home) Yeah I don't know what I cried about but Reality removed all doubt I felt warm but all alone (Once upon returning home) Look around, there's work to do A new life for the chosen few The world sings in the same key, sweet harmony (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Just when you thought you had it made With fool's gold, the road was paved Its circles get so big and wide You can't see to the other side, other side Oh, the long journey wore me down To see the world turn upside down There'll be some time before things Settle down I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared (Once upon returning home) A touch of sadness but no fear (Once upon returning home) Yeah, still I, I don't know what I cried about but Reality removed all doubt I felt warm but all alone (Once upon returning home) Returning home, yeah Oh, don't let the changes get you down, no You'll see the world turned upside down If you listen, you'll hear the word When it comes around, when it comes around I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared (Once upon returning home) A touch of sadness but no fear (Once upon returning home) I don't know what I cried about but Reality removed all doubt I felt warm but all alone (Once upon returning home) Returning home, yeah, whoo Oh yeah (Coming home) I saw the ruins, oh (Coming home) I saw the smoke clear (Coming home) I felt the world turn upside down (Coming home) Oh, I'm (Coming home) oh (Coming home) (Coming home) (Coming home) Mama, I'm (coming home) Mama, I'm (coming home) Oh, returning home (coming home) yeah, ow (Coming home) ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow (Coming home) Oh, oh, oh (coming home) (Coming home)
