This body, bearing me
Holding me tightly until I take my leave
This body, tempting me
Holding me eternally, hold me until I find my way back home
Sway with the rhythm of death and defiance
Take my hand lead me, on the road to Zion
Tell my story, my parable
Tell them how I raised my fist to the gates and shouted
“I’ve come home now!”
Tell them to swing to the song, to the dance, the sounds
that I have
I haven’t told you when to stop, just let me in
They ring the bells, they shout to they’re neighbors,
They tell the king to be blind and to listen
“He has come home now”
I stand at the gates of death and defiance
The rhythm is slow, low and drowned by shadows
Fetch me my father and mother, I’ve come home now
