Take Me Home

by Mommy And Me   Jan 12, 2008


(okay this might be a bit confusing but all the words with " " around them is from one point of view and the ones with * * around them is from another point of view. if there is nothing around them. they are speaking together)

Take Me Home

"Walking past recording history with my camera
I gaze upon faces my heart, it breaks to see
Tortured souls upon tattered lands
All I wanted was to step foot on happy ground"

*Sense I can remember I've been taught but one thing
And that is man kind... is not all that is good
That when my day comes, I will gladly fall to my knees
For my people, for my father, for my family*

"I was at a ceremony in Tayaran square
And all I could think was how I wanted to be home
As I moved the camera around the happy faces
My eyes froze upon a button, I didn't know what to do"

*I looked into her eyes and i felt my heart race;
For just a few moments my fingers did freeze.
But as she turned to run I remembered my honor--
so i pessed the button and fell to my knees*

"I was a reporter, and now I'm an angel"

*I was the bomber, serving my country*

"And with this halo on my head, I have one wish"

*I look to the heavens, asking them but one thing*

...To take me home ...
