Lyrics
(PROLOGUE)
THE DAY IS SOON FORTHCOMING
WHEN THIS WORLD WILL CEASE TO BE
AND A NEW WORLD WILL REPLACE IT
AND OUR SOULS, AGAIN, BE FREE
AT LAST WE WILL REMEMBER
WHAT WE'VE KNOWN ALL ALONG
WHEN AT LAST WE HEAR YOU CALLING US
FROM MIGHTY SHIPS OF SONG
(CHORUS)
WE'RE GOING HOME
GOING HOME
YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR US
ALL ALONG
TAKE US HOME
TAKE US HOME
WE'LL BE GOING HOME
IN MIGHTY SHIPS OF SONG
WE'LL BE GOING HOME
IN MIGHTY SHIPS OF SONG..
(VERSE 1)
MY MOMMA USED TO HOLD ME
AND THE STORY SHE WOULD TELL
OF A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL
THAT APPEARED TO EZEKIEL
AND I COULD FEEL YOU IN THE DISTANCE
I COULD FEEL YOU IN MY HEART
YOU WERE THE CENTER OF MY UNIVERSE
THO' WE WERE WORLDS APART
AWAY FROM HOME
(VERSE 2)
YOU BROUGHT US TO THIS PARADISE
WHERE WE'D WALK HAND IN HAND
THE CREATOR, THE CREATED
UPON THE PROMISED LAND
BUT IN TIME WE WOULD FORGET YOU
IN TIME WE'D LOSE OUR WAY
HOW MANY WILL AWAKEN AND SAY
"TAKE ME HOME"
(VERSE 3)
NOW THE EARTH IS REELING
FROM THE DAMAGE THAT WE'VE DONE
POLLUTION SHROUDS OUR PARADISE
AND HOPE IS ALMOST GONE
BUT I KNOW YOU WILL RETURN FOR US
"WE ARE NOT ALONE"
WE'LL BE GOING HOME IN MIGHTY SHIPS OF SONG
GOING HOME...
(VERSE 4)
IN A MAZE OF EMOTION
IN A PREVIEW OF MY FEARS
OUT OF THE DARKNESS
AN AMAZING SIGHT APPEARS
COME TO RECLAIM ME
I HEAR THE SOOTHING "OM"
YOU WOULD NOT FORSAKE US
YOU HAD COME TO TAKE ME HOME
TIME IS ALMOST OVER
I SEE CHARIOTS OF FIRE
THE WAKING ONES ARE GATHERING
THE FLAMES ARE BURNING HIGHER
I'VE BEEN TO THE PINNACLE
I'VE STOOD UPON THE TIP
AND IN THE RAPTURE OF THE MOMENT
I WILL SEE YOU ON THE SHIP
GOING HOME...
(EPILOGUE)
EVERY PRAYER EVER WHISPERED
"HOME"
EVERY THOUGHT EXPRESSED
"HOME"
EVERY TEAR EVER SHED
"HOME"
EVERY LOVED ONE CARESSED
"HOME"
AND I FEEL YOU INSIDE ME
"HOME"
AND I HEAR YOU UP ABOVE
WE ARE CRADLED IN A VESSEL
MADE OF LOVE
GOING HOME...
YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR US
ALL ALONG
TAKE US HOME
TAKE US HOME
WE ARE GOING HOME
IN MIGHTY SHIPS OF SONG
WE ARE GOING HOME
IN MIGHTY SHIPS OF SONG
