Tell your sister and your brother Tell your father and your mother Tell your friend and tell your lover "We are going home" Tell the lion and the lamb Go tell every lonely man Tell them of the promised land Oh, we're going home Tell the sun and tell the moon Join with them in broken tune Tell them that we're going soon Soon, we're going home The earth is cold and darker still There ain't no hiding in its hills We are lost and lonely till You tell us come on home Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief Open wide your eyes and see Everything we could have been It's time to go home Come forgotten, scarred, and scorned Come ye empty, lone, and worn See the curtain that's been torn To welcome us home Our bones cry out beneath our skin To wash these hands of all their sins Oh heaven, let us in We want to come home
