Homeland 06:51
lyrics

Dove: I sit at the edge of the ocean Look out to sea The sun cuts through the rainclouds What can it be Behind me the ravaged mainland An amputee Long past since the shining star Its apogee The decline sublime but not overt No one is free Pain and loss and lives cost How can this be I look across the indigo waves Losing who is me I shout to the air, land, and sea Listen to my plea Father: Don’t you come and call me, say you’re sorry, say you’ll follow all the rules It’s untrue, I know you, never did what you were told It’s a shame, you’re to blame, a mare that can’t be controlled It’s a sin, when you begin, to disrespect where you come from Don’t call me, say you’re sorry, use “love” so casually Your duty, to obey me, should come so naturally Nana: When I see your eyes, and see your smile, and see your lust for the unknown I’ve got to let you go When I see your pain, and see your fear, and see the chains that bind you here I’ve got to let you go

Dove: I come to you, to see this through, been weighing on me all day For your advice, weathered and wise, see if there’s another way another way You hold me close, say it’s my choice, tell me not to be afraid You’ve faith in me, all you see, answers to your prayers Wrapped in your tears Nana you know I love you Nana you know you’re everything Nana you know I love you Nana you know Nana: Comes a time, against the wind, you must fly Comes a time, against the wind, you must try Comes a time, against the wind, don’t ask why Comes a time, against the wind, fly The old time ways want you to stay Grow up here and have a life Stay in line and you will find Settle down and be a wife The new world calls break the walls Leave from here and want for more Don’t be resigned and you will find A new life on some foreign shores Dove: Tradition, prohibitions, contrition leads me not knowing who I am Perdition, inhibition, conditions prevent me from what I can Transition, acquisition, volition allows me to walk into tomorrow Father: Can’t you just come home, can’t you just wait Can’t you just do for someone else for a change Can’t you be loyal, can’t you be chaste Can’t you just do so we’re not all disgraced Dove: Can’t you just love me, can’t you have faith Can’t you just trust in how I was raised Can’t you support me, can’t you be amazed Can’t you just know that my musts not misplaced Nana: My little dove you fly high against the wind My little dove I cut the ties that bind you down My little dove spread your wings out wide My little dove you fly high against the wind high Dove: I come to you, to see this through, it’s time that I say goodbye You hold me close, kiss my tears, it’s time for us to say goodbye Say goodbye Nana you know I love you Nana you know you’re everything Nana you know I love you Nana you know

Dove: Mist through the window Hints of a rainbow World that I forgo for the pot at the end Shine of the silver Bird so much bigger Crowd unfamiliar not a one that’s a friend TSA Agent: Excuse me miss, purpose of your trip, business or pleasure Wait in line, embrace the time, this is our leisure Place you’ll sleep, rich or cheap, your answers are obscure Excuse me miss, something’s amiss, let’s see your papers Some red flags, what’s in your bags, are you a faker Welcome to wonderland [Babel] Dove: I’m so scared These voices in my head I’m so confused Red, orange, green, and blue Shark's Den Owner: You want to come, come with me, come with me, I’ll let you see You want to share, a room a bed, I’ll keep you fed, a blue a red You want to have, a good time, beer and wine, what’s your’s is mine You want to know, I’ll teach you so, I’ll come and go, again again again Dove: Alone Cold Scared Home? When? Where? A bed to call my own Safe within four walls Hostel Hostile Afraid Why? How? The end?

The Only Way To Know 05:30

Dove: Five years ago I bared my all Heard the hoots, the howls, drunken calls Danced all night sold my soul Paid my way to reach my goals The only way to know Who I am Is to be the best me I can The only way to know What can be Is to live life willingly freely Here I stand naked alone but free From my homeland to the club an escapee Held on to myself to retain my dignity Looked inside where I found the key The only way to know Who I am Is to be the best me I can The only way to know What can be Is to live life willingly freely

Dove/Husband: Saw your face and I swiped right texted you throughout the night We went out you made me laugh decided that you earned a chance You got me to such golden heights time for us to live a life Oh my dove don’t you see for forever this is we I love you You and me Strong and true Live and be Hold me tight Felt so low was so ashamed no one but me was to blame I don’t care about your past as what’s between us will hold fast Feels so good to hear you say that you’ll love me anyway Oh my dove don’t you see for forever this is we I love you You and me Strong and true Live and be Hold me tight Summer fall winter spring flight We move in we begin life Smiles laughs cries hopes delight With this ring I thee wed In the bathroom I used the stick saw the sign saying positive I’m so happy full of joy I always wanted a little boy Here it comes finally we’re about to have a family Oh my dove don’t you see for forever this is we I love you You and me Strong and true Live and be Hold me tight

Dove: Our two kids are growing up, doing well and having fun I’m so thankful for my life what might have been in another time I left my home a new start when I left it broke my heart Now I’m with you and found myself couldn’t ask for nothing else Husband: My love you mean everything Hold you close hold all my dreams Can’t imagine another way Here with me every single day Father: Little Dove listen now I have something to tell you It’s a shock for us all but it happened peacefully Last night in her sleep Nana passed away Dove: Nana Husband: I’m so sorry for your loss Sorry to hear about the cost I know the cards and flowers won’t take away the pain Whatever you need just let me know Take your time take it slow I’m here for you and I’ll never let you go I want you to tell me the times that we’re having The pain that you’re feeling what can I get done I want you to hold me share your past demons The hurt and the longing you can never outrun Dove: I feel so guilty for leaving home, leaving Nana and everyone My tears fall so endlessly sting me so I can’t sleep Thought I was strong before but here’s a feeling I can’t ignore I need to go and cross the sky I need to go to say goodbye

Homecoming 04:21

Dove: On the edge of the sand Back in my homeland Look out at the sea You’d never know that this was me Now I’ve come to say goodbye Forgive forget and try So many different views Thought that I had to choose Ran away from the past Thought I could outlast The demanding legacy You’d never know that this was me So much time has gone by We lived such different lives As the waves come to crash Nana I give you from the ash Nana: Oh my little dove You hold me tight like a child Hold me like I held you but it’s time to let me go Oh my little dove I open the cage and set you free Lift the lid raise me high it’s time to let me go Father: I’m so glad that you’re home It’s been too long since you’ve gone So you know you’ve been missed Now you’re here in our midst Sorry for not trusting you Sorry its all I can do Sorry I was bound by past The future is what can last I held you down that I know I let you fly I want to show We share blood and history Holds us close we’re family We see your son growing tall He’s just like you we want to call To give him what we have of love To say to him, my little Dove Dove: It’s time I let go Of the hurt and pain Of the guilt and shame It’s time I let go Of the past that ties It’s my time to fly
