Images Of Eden Native To His Land
We shall not cease from exploration
And at the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
[--T.S. Elliot]
Back to a place and time when I was young
In a simple world so far away
All the memories coming back to me
Made me what I am
The land I knew for so very long
I had to leave but never let go
Time has passed again here I am
Where the story began
Life had taken this world away from me
Through wiser eyes I see
Home to my new native land
But so foreign to me
Where I roam, where I cry
Where I sleep, where I will lie
Where I dream, where I survive
Where I believe, where I'm alive
This land- my native land, once upon a dream
I saw your towers standing so tall
This land- my native land, ruined remains
Fallen before me, lying at my feet
Full circle, here I stand
Once a boy, now a man
I returned to a new native land
Now I can move on
This land- my native land, once upon a dream
I saw your towers standing so tall
This land- my native land, and today I know
My time has come to let go
