lyrics

I can hear the sound of thunder
I can smell the coming rain
I can sense the changing seasons
When will I see my home again

I was born into this prison
I was born with no last name
No place to run no-one to follow
When will I see my home again

I know why the morning star does shine
It shines to lead me through the night
And I know where that new moon lies
It lies beneath the sands of time


All these years I’ve been alone here
My crime has not been named
Nor my sentence been read to me
When will I see my home again

When I was young I had ambition
But years of stone stole it away
I’m just a stranger in a strange land
When will I see my home again


I know why the morning star does shine…

It’s more than walls that make this prison
Time, razor-wire and pain
It takes a nation of indifference
When will I see my home again
