if you're looking through the darkness The sea a listing tumult I've lit the beacon upon shore A lighthouse to guide you to port You've been Homeward bound for so long Can you make it one more night The dawn opens like a promise And with it brings the light I know you're battered and bruised A storm rages all around Just make it one more night A calm waiting to be found I'm begging please hold on tight And await the glory of his sound I swear we've all been there before you carry your shield and sword We're trying to break this cycle It's the reason why we fight for A war that seems so final So why does it feel so long So please don't let your rival Halt the great revival To warrior from disciple I dedicate to you this song. It seems a distant memory Your ship set sail and out of sight I spent all day watching you sail away The gulls calling to you in their flight Remember oh weary traveler I'll always keep my promise I promised I would tend the beacon I promised to be there if you needed a guide Oh how much it pains me to say To try to make it one more day You will always find your footing I watch you, forlorn yet smiling So get up, get up, I've lit the way Get up get up, we all see you trying! I swear we've all been there before you carry your shield and sword We're trying to break this cycle (cycle!) It's the reason why we fight for A war that seems so final (final!) So why does it feel so long So please don't let your rival (don't let it go) Halt the great revival (no) To warrior from disciple I dedicate to you this song. (please come home)
