Homecoming - Jacob Banks
I was born right by the mountain
From a place where eagles would sore
Now I'm saying goodbye to my hometown
I'm going where I never been before
See my daddy was a farmer
And mama see was a nurse
Told me stories about the world
I'm about to find what it's worth
Mama don't you cry
Daddy please just say goodbye
'Cause I've gotta live before I die
But I'll be coming back home soon
But I'll be coming back home soon
Now I'm standing by the streetlights
Not sure if I really belong
Though my trouble days may come
I know I gotta go on
I've gotta live my life in colors
No more living in black and white
I've gotta learn to live my life
I've gotta learn to stand and fight
Sister don't you cry
Brother I will be alright
'Cause I've gotta live before I die
But I'll be coming back home soon
But I'll be coming back home soon
So many years past and I've been
Waiting for so long
To see my papa
I can't wait to see his eyes
So many years past and I've been
Dreaming for so long
To see my mama
I can't wait to see her smile
Because I've lived before I die
And I come back home to you
