Homebound

b-LAH-que

I'm homebound, I hope now

I've roamed thousand scenes

All alone, and I've dove down

To flow with the streams

That go where I don't know

Even row in my sleep

New dreams have grown now

At home inside me

They've shown how I've no bounds

My glowing mind free

I don't doubt my own route

That blows with the breeze

Don't go where I'm known 'round

That's no use for me

I chose the unknown grounds

That grow how I see:

A globe we call home,

New scopes that cross seas,

What's free and what's owned,

Even unknowns in me

I know I've been shown now

What I moaned to see

The places I've ached for

No more wait for me

So forth here on forward

Please placate my plea;

Past roads my race roams toward,

May home wait for me
