I have followed its calling back home again
Mile after mile I have Asearched but in Dvain
For the place where my dreams won't be Adrowned by the Drain

Where the Amountains are weeping and Emcalling my name
And the Gsea sings a song of my Dfather's who Acame
To the DIsland, the Island my Aheart will reDmain
INSTRUMENTAL: 
Music and magic and Afriends by the Dfire
A memory of a place where the Aspirits are Dhigher
GLast looks at Cbeauty and Gtears of goodAbye

Live in my soul and burn in my eyes

And the Gsea sings a song of my Dfather's who Acame
To the DIsland, the Island my Aheart will reDmain
INSTRUMENTAL: 
The road's turning back now as Atime turns a Dpage
I no longer feel the shoes of a Ayounger man's Dage
GShe let me Cgo with her Gblessings back Athen
                                   D             A      D  C-G-D  
But I know she'll be glad to have me back home again
