The return

There are many places in this world
But there’s only one that I call home
And it never floats away
When I left I thought I would return to stay

When I look in your eyes I recognise
No matter man, woman or child
You have the same inside

I’ve travelled a thousand miles
I’ve travelled all the way
I finally came home
I thought it was to stay
But nothing here has changed
I start to understand
That this burden that I bear
Is the pain you gave to share

I do accept my destiny
When I left I knew what fate you had for me

Tie me up, I will give you the rope
Beat me down and I’ll give you the strength
Cut me up, I will hand you the blade
I’ll give you the stones so you can throw them back at me
