As I walked out one evening
To breathe the air and soothe my mind
I thought of friends and the home I had
And all those things I left behind

A silent star shone on me
My eyes saw a far horizon
As if to pierce this veil of time
And escape this earthly prison

Will there come a time when the memories fade
And pass on with the long, long years
When the ties no longer bind?
Lord save me from this darkest fear
Don't let me come home a stranger
I couldn't stand to be a stranger
