Homeland

 The dust begins to settle
 And waiting fills the room
 The only Angels present share his name
 The reminders aren't so subtle
 They choke the would-be truth
 That miracles still happen in this place
 But one way or the other
 I'm coming to believe
 That everything I see is not exactly as it seems
 CHORUS:
 'Cause this is not the last dance
 This is not the final glance
 Oh this is one step closer to the Homeland
 This is not the bitter end
 This is not farewell, my friend
 We're just getting close to the Homeland
 It's no wonder we're so grounded
 By twenty years or so
 Conditioned and accustomed
 To the only world we know
 But as I look up in silence
 At his eyes soft and kind
 I realize that this young soul of mine's not far behind
 'Cause I'm taking the same journey
 I'm driving down that road
 And the fear that I might reach the gates
 Is calmed because I know
 Chorus:
 That this is not the last dance
 This is not the final glance
 Oh this is one step closer to the Homeland
 This is not the last goodbye
 This is not the finish line
 Oh this is one step closer to the Homeland
 With every breath we take
 Every step we make
 We're just getting closer
 Getting closer
