How can I hope to make you understandWhy I do what I do?Why I must travel to a distant land,Far from the home I love.Once, I was happily content to beAs I was, where I was,Close to the people who are close to me,Here in the home I love.Who could see that a man would comeWho would change the course of my dreams?Helpless now, I stand with him,Watching older dreams grow dim.Oh, what a melancholy choice this is,Wanting home, wanting him.Closing my heart to every hope but his,Leaving the home I love.There, where my heart has settled long ago,I must go. I must go.Who could imagine I'd be wandering soFar from the home I love.Yet, there with my love, I'm home
Lyrics by Julia Migenes-Johnson
