Day 60: "Homeward Bound"

This is a song about the American Dream, and how, in spite of the adventure and mystery of the unknown, our hearts will lead us home again, wherever that is. I feel like this is a good song for those of us who feel the need for change and jumping into the inevitable. Here is the song...I hope it inspires and gives hope.

In the quiet misty morning,
when the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stopped its singing
and the sky is clear and red...

When the summer ceases gleaming
and the corn is past its prime,
When adventure's lost its meaning
I'll be homeward bound in time.

[Chorus]
Bind me not to the pasture,
chain me not to the plow,
set me free to find my calling
and I'll return to you somehow.

If you find it's me you're missing, if you're hoping I'll return,
To your thought I'll soon be list'ning; in the road I'll stop and turn.
Then the wind will set me racing as my journey nears its end,
And the path I'll be retracing when I'm homeward bound again.

Bind me not to the pasture. Chain me not to the plow.
Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to you somehow!

In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing, I'll be homeward bound again.
