As I walked out one evening
To breathe the air and soothe my mind
I thought of friends and the home I had
And all those things I left behind
A silent star shone on me
My eyes saw a far horizon
As if to pierce this veil of time
And escape this earthly prison
Will there come a time when the memories fade
And pa** on with the long, long years
When the ties no longer bind?
Lord save me from this darkest fear
Don't let me come home a stranger
I couldn't stand to be a stranger
