Silent Greetings - Home Lyrics

Here they stood in a sacred silence
No one dared to breathe
Only leaves of autumn whispered
Long forgotten stories underneath their feet
To the place they were no strangers
But all they'd known was gone
Countless miles mirrored in their faces
But they didn't regret a single one

Million eyes stare from the cloud
Echoed farewells make the only sound
Look around and see, it's here, we stand on the ground
Where we were born, and the ashes are still warm.
For so long the road has twisted
But inside I've always known
If we never give up trying
We will find our way back home

Now I turn to you
Little one, what we've been through?
I recall you used to cry each time we had to say goodbye
And how you loved the flickering lights of foreign towns
Brother now you're so much braver
Summer storms scare you no more
Yet you shiver, yet you tremble
When you see what's left of home

So here they stood in sacred silence
And no one said a word
Two brothers who have tasted
All the flavours of this world

Wind was howling closer over lawns of sand and stone
And a beat of thousand raindrops woke shivers in their bones
And so the two grown children showed their faces to the rain
And they knelt on the ground knowing, they won't have to leave again
