Home By The Sea

I'm a stranger now in the town I was born
This place it was my home
And these churches and farms I once held to my heart
Now mean nothing al all
And this heart full of dreams is ripped at the seams
Ambitions lie washed to the sea
Who tore me away from these valleys and streams
And this home by the sea

When I was younger, this world seemed bigger
These rivers so deep and so wide
And stories of heroes and local winners
Were spoken with pride
Never thought I'd leave, never thought I'd go
Never thought it would be me
Fighting a cause I hardly know
Two thousand miles from this home by the sea

I see fires, burning fields, crashing,
Thundering and rain
I see tired faces waiting to be saved
I see people starving, dogs barking,
Suffering and pain
I see mothers crying, huddled around a grave
Nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes,
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes,
And these dreams won't go away
And these dreams won't go away

I will find a place where the river meets the sea
And wash these sins froth my hands
I will dream of the man I used to be
Before I left this land
I will crawl from this frame,
I will lie upon the shore
These legs will never walk
These scars won't fade
These wounds won't heal
There's no place for me
In this home by the sea
