Anne Harlan Prather - Homecoming lyrics

Stars... before my eyes They still accord within me what I thought had died Below me sleeps a planet that I called home for years It paves from view I made my tears of joy Love I see my love Her song of freedom touches me and I return her call Her star-dried beauty tells a tale of courage and of tears I'm coming home again from years alone But why this fear inside of me of what I'll see and say The past three years I live each moment for this day The call so strong it wakes me from my sleep and makes me cry I must return to space again before too long or die Home I have come home The faces here are different while the same as long before The power swells beneath me as the years all fall away And for moments there is nothing we can say And stars... before my eyes A single more year earthbound and I'm sure I would have died I'll call no planet home again for that would be a lie We'll sail our sea eternally---my star-dried love and I
