Home to the River (People's Liberation Choir and Orchestra)

[Instrumental] Rode the long way back From far afield Where I roamed too long Bringing back too many Too many burdens of memory Maybe they will linger on the banks When I finally arrive When I have arrived on the banks I will leave them behind The thoughts and dreams that took me far (Too far, so far) Now I am home (I am home) Home to the River To the River that will carry me And let me drift downstream Please may I drift along (drift along) With the currents and the eddies Home to the river Leave my memories on the shore Leave the thoughts that weigh me down On the banks of the river Home to the river Passing folks heading upstream (Do they seem familiar) Maybe I am nearing (Nearing where I began) Close to where I belong Where my regrets don't linger (don't linger) Home to the River Home to the river May I drift downstream Maybe reach the ocean But not venture out there (Not beyond the river) Not out to the sea (Oh the sea) No I am home (Home to the river) Home to the river The river (The river) Home (Home) Home (Home) (Home)
