lyrics

Ask the grandmothers at Marovo Lagoon,
They'll say,
"Daughter, the water is rising."

Ask the young men who fish down in the bay,
They'll say,
"Sister, the weather is changing.

But you, you can go home."

Everyone here comes from some other place
And they'll tell you,
As soon as they meet you.

"My mother's Makira, my father's Marau,
And I'll go, soon as I can afford to.

Oh yes, I'll go home,
Can't wait to go home."

We drove out one Sunday to Visale beach,
To find,
All of the sand had eroded.

And people spilled out of the church doors,
At noon,
And rose voices to heavens exalted.

Singing, "Go home.
Oh Lord, let us go home."

As soon as I set one foot down in a place
I am thinking,
Of what's round the corner.

I've stumbled my way around half of the world,
And I'm still not quite sure,
What I'm after.

Maybe I should just go home.
