High atop the mountain, a wondrous city was It scaled the mountain wall and its people soared high above And if I recall correctly, it was welcome to all Oh, how I keep longing for my home [Verse 1] I remember how I walked through the city streets From my little place, down through the town square Then up the stairs to the researcher's hall Where I'd stay all day long Oh, I miss it so The fresh air at the mountain tops And the sound of a tavern fight I miss the sounds of my city day and night [Chorus] I remember a home, high atop the mountain (I remember a home) A place to feel safe (I remember a home) Somewhere to rest and let my guard down (I remember a home) A place of joy with my loved ones (I remember a home) Oh, how I keep longing for my home (And maybe some day I can return) To the city streets, once again filled with life To my home and my neighbors, to where I belong But I know, I cannot return First I must repair what I have done To bring life to a ruin, to reverse the past Oh, I miss it so The fresh air at the mountain tops And the sound of a tavern fight I miss the sounds of my city day and night [Chorus] I remember a home, high atop the mountain (I remember a home) A place to feel safe (I remember a home) Somewhere to rest and let my guard down (I remember a home) A place of joy with my loved ones (I remember a home) Oh, how I keep longing for my home (And maybe some day I can return) How I keep longing for my home And maybe some day I can return [Instrumental Guitar Solo] Ooooo Some day I will return Ooooo Some day I will return [Outro]
