Lyrics
HOMELAND
by Phil Melling and Carlo Prunty
As I was walking down the street, a sad man came my way,
I glanced at him and gave a smile, hoped to brighten his day.
He only frowned and turned his head and looked the other way.
I thought about the days of old when life wasn't so gray.
Chorus:
I have no home and no food to eat and no place to sleep.
And I'm homeless in my homeland.
War is on the rise, the devils in disguise, I'm so confused,
I don?t know what I'm gonna do,
I have no help without you.
As I was walking down the street, I saw a lady crying,
She sent her son out to fight for what she thought was right.
No time to give to a child lost by the roll of a dice.
She sent him out to fight for the rest of our lives.
Chorus:
My child is gone, and I have no one, and I'm all alone.
I'm lonely in my homeland.
See, he sacrificed his only life
Something that he really didn't do.
I have no help without you.
As I was driving down the street, I ran across a wreck.
I asked the officer, ?Were they dead?? He wouldn?t say,
He only said, ?Sir, you?re in the way.?
I began to pray as I drove away.
Chorus:
What happened to the days when people used to pray together?
In their homeland.
See, everybody stand up and shout, Freedom!
We?ve got the power to change this place,
All it takes is one to say it.
Chorus:
What happened to the days when people used to pray together?
In their homeland.
See, everybody stand up and shout, Freedom!
We?ve got the power to change this place,
All it takes is one to think
The power to change this place, it?s in the one who?ll say it.
The power in changing this place, the one who believes it.
The power to change this place is in the one who?ll pray for it.
All you have to do is pray for it.
That?s all you have to do.
