Home Lyrics
I gave my life to you and I have worked so hard at it too
Would I do anything other than to raise you to be
The finest men?
After all this years of ploughing through the weeds
I have turned wise and grey
With every fiber in me
I have lived to see you grow to be
The finest men
I just followed my trail and I found my way back home
In this light of all I wanted to display for you
I will never leave you alone
In the corners of this universal sky
Then completion often day passes me by
As long as the ways of the light
Will reach your bearing heart
I will find
The finest men
I came and I saw
I will understand this freedom
And remind you of me
Will you pass me on
My pride
I found in life my way home
Would I do anything other than to raise you to be
I have turned wise and grey
With every fiber in me
I have lived to see you grow to be
In this light of all I wanted to display for you
I will never leave you alone
Then completion often day passes me by
As long as the ways of the light
Will reach your bearing heart
I will find
I will understand this freedom
And remind you of me
My pride

To me I get the feeling of someone reflecting back on their life and wanting to be remembered by loved ones. I also think they are speaking of finding the way back to the spritual home or whatever existence we have known before birth.
Mhmm, and also I think maybe the "finest men" relates to all of the person's creations in this world, be it writings or people or ideas or music. Why are some of the newer songs about somebody getting old and getting ready to die? Hmm, doesn't make sense. Again, maybe the lyricist is getting old. And this is the last song on the album, so it would be an interesting way to end their career. And so Anneke (who is the lead singer and wrote all the lyrics for this album) ended hers.
