Song of My Returning

The weary world is waiting

For ambition to be played

Now young and not afraid

I've got to challenge

Every challenge that I know

For I am just a sailor

On a ship across the land

Let me hold your hand

To bid farewell

So I can knuckle to my knees

But I'll be back again

No matter where I go

For it's only love

That frees the fire for burning

And I'll take you in my arms

And I'll tell you all I know

As I sing the changing songs

Of my returning

My drifting days prepare me

To do battle with the night

A phantom of the fight

I've got to conquer

All the courage of my fears

The answer lies in limbo

And the harvest will be hard

But sacred are the stars

That leave their mark upon

The fast dissolving years

Yes I'll be back again

No matter where I go

For it's only love

That frees the fire for burning

And I'll take you in my arms

And I'll tell you all I know

As I sing the growing songs

Of my returning

Time must have her victory

It's that I've always known

But I've won or lost alone

And when a voice calls out,
