twelve years ago and I can still clearly remember
that bright day in the middle of december
a world away, couldn't take my mind off her
but now I wait high in the sky right above her
from this glorious height
I gazed with delight
as the clouds that covered her like a shroud
parted to reveal the sight
and then I saw her standing there
bright in the morning sun
I could only stare
in silent admiration
allyuh I don't know
why dis' land does have me so
oh, I long to be
back home by my Trinity
i can still recall the moment I descended
I thought that the years of my exile had ended
face wet with tears, I ran to embrace her
but she just stared past me as if I was a stranger
closer to the ground
wheels now touchin' down
and the land I had known, claimed as my own
had moved along
her clothes were torn, and her shirt was all tattered
her eyes downcast, every hope and joy scattered
dream of my past, bright memory shattered
but I adore her still 'cause I know that all that don't matter
thunder in the sky
water in she eye
the rain soon fell as if to tell
that the tears weren't only mine
then I saw her standing there...
