Like I Was Coming Home

Like I Was Coming Home

I sit before my tv screen and watch your world go by

I see you dance and hear you sing and feel you on your high

I wasn't there to walk with you for I was just too young

But I can dream along – I can dream along

I bathe me in nostalgia's tones for years that were not mine

I share your pains all filled with hope and clothe them in these times

Where stone hearts preach to fearful and blame you for making waves

But that's how man behaves – that's how man repays

Though I know my pretty picture is but half the tale

It guides me still to dragons slain and my own holy grail

And was I younger maybe I would even grow my hair

And flowers I would wear – and would not give a care

But maybe it's you now who rule, by power and money bought

Who raise the flag and wear the suit and smile the face you fought

And if that's so, I grieve for you and hope freedom you'll find

From your disillusioned mind – from your disillusioned mind

Give me your dreams of peace and love, they soothe these confused days

They give me words and voice when I feel lost upon my way

In brother's melodies they call and warm me to my bones

Like I was coming home, like I was coming home, like I was coming home

I sit before my tv screen and watch your world go by

I see you dance and hear you sing and feel you on your high

I wasn't there to walk with you for I was just too young

But I can dream along – I can dream along

But I can dream along – I can dream along

But I can dream along.
