Greg Sczebel - Homeland lyrics

rate me

©2007 Greg Sczebel/Soultone Publishing (SOCAN)

The dust begins to settle

And waiting fills the room

The only Angels present share his name

The reminders aren't so subtle

They choke the would-be truth

That miracles still happen in this place

But one way or the other

I'm coming to believe

That everything I see is not exactly as it seems

CHORUS:

'Cause this is not the last dance

This is not the final glance

Oh this is one step closer to the Homeland

This is not the bitter end

This is not farewell, my friend

We're just getting close to the Homeland

It's no wonder we're so grounded

By twenty years or so

Conditioned and accustomed

To the only world we know

But as I look up in silence

At his eyes soft and kind

I realize that this young soul of mine's not far behind

'Cause I'm taking the same journey

I'm driving down that road

And the fear that I might reach the gates

Is calmed because I know

Chorus:

That this is not the last dance

This is not the final glance

Oh this is one step closer to the Homeland

This is not the last goodbye

This is not the finish line

Oh this is one step closer to the Homeland

With every breath we take

Every step we make

We're just getting closer

Getting closer
