Home (a story of sorts)

It's said that only two things are infinite

The universe and human stupidity

And I'm not really sure about the universe

And sometimes not about me

For any man, no cause, no war

Because there is no cause greater than life

And life is here, with my family

Jesus in Heaven, and on earth my wife

When I was away, my return was all I dreamed of

Now I'm home and it's greater than a dream

I found a twig in the mouth of a white dove

Washed out my eyes and there fell out a beam

Once I left home and went on the road

It had to be, so the story could start

But unto you my fellow travelers

I'll always keep you in my heart of hearts

If we perish, we do so alone

But if we live, we will live as one

Now here I'll stay, with you my friend

The song must last 'til the work is done

The ghost of what I once was will haunt me no more

When I'm loved, then I am needed and free

The slower love ripens, the sweeter when plucked

Love for my Father, and a love for me

And now comes the time that all labors are over

And now comes the time when all woes depart

And now comes the time and home comes the hero

And now comes the time he comes home to his heart
