LYRIC

HOME- Yeedle- Composed By Ken Burgess- Shiru Lamelech

Morning breaks, the child awakes
Staring eyes from a tiny face
Stranger in a strange place
He says please take me home,
No one heard the word he speaks
Teardrops tumble to his cheek
His heart cried out for what it seeks
Won’t someone take him home.

And when this child became a man
Stranger lost in a stranger’s land
Each night a broken dream repeated
Please take me home,
He never stopped remembering
The land of G-d that calls to him
Memories keep flooding in
The memories of home.

CHORUS:
Home, I just wanna go home
To the city of gold, in the land of old
That’s my home,
Home, I just wanna go home
Searching for truth
Take me back to my roots
Please take me home.
Home, I just wanna go home
To the land of Hashem, to Jerusalem
That’s my home, my real home,
Home, I just wanna go home
Where I’ll be strong
Where my soul belongs
in the land of home.

Every day that passes by
In foreign lands we spend our time
But deep within our hearts were praying
Please take us home,
We know the day will surely come
We’ll gather in Jerusalem
On the day Moshiach comes
Then once more we’ll be home.

So many years away from home
So many fears and tears we’ve known
Many generations growing
Missing their home,
The spirit of the nation stands
Reaching out to our holy land
Far across the desert sand
That’s where we need to go.

CHORUS:
Home, I just wanna go home
To the city of gold, in the land of old
Oh yes, that’s our home,
Home, we just wanna go home
Searching for truth
Take me back to my roots
Please please, take me home.
Home, we just wanna go home
To the land of Hashem, to Jerusalem
That’s our home, our real home,
Home, we just wanna go home
Where we can be strong
Where our souls belong
in the land of home.

Forever holding on to faith
The time is soon to take our place
Once again be standing
On the land we call home,
Then to our children we will tell
Stories that we know so well
‘Bout the land of Israel
Eternally our home.

CHORUS:
Home, we just wanna go home
To our city of gold, in the land of old
Oh yes, that’s our real home,
Home, we just wanna go home
Searching for truth
Take us back to our roots
Please please, take us home.
Home, we just wanna go home
To the land of Hashem
to Jerusalem
Oh yes, that’s our home,
Home, we just wanna go home
Where we can be strong
All belong in the land of home.

Home home home, we just wanna go home home home
To the city of gold, in the land of old
Oh yes, that’s our real home,
Home home home, we just wanna go home home home
Searching for truth
Take us back to our roots
Please please, someone take us home, take us take us home.

(Home, we just wanna go home
To the land of Hashem
to Jerusalem
Oh yes, that’s our home,
Home, we just wanna go home
Where we can be strong
All belong in the land of home.)
