Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Like the tree that grows so tall
Leaves turn gold and then they fall
They've gone down
But now they've grown
They're going home
[Verse 2]
Mountain streams may run and flow
Clean the sand on which they go
Stretching down
Like it had known
It's going home
[Verse 3]
Sunrise early in the dawn
Slips away and then it's gone
Leaves the night
To carry on
While it's going home
[Verse 4]
Once a man he lived and died
What he said death could not hide
Even though
It's often tried
But he was going home
[Verse 5]
Now, my friends, it's time to go
And this love will live to grow
And I want
You all to know
I'm going home
