Sammy Hagar – Returning Home lyrics
I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared
Once upon returning home
A touch of sadness but no fear
Once upon returning home
I don't know what I cried about but
Reality removed all doubt
I felt warm but all alone
Once upon returning home
Returning home
Once this place was paradise
Green and blue colors of the sea
It's still alive so it shall return
Eventually, oh, oh, oh
The sacred builders, the chosen ones
Have learned to live and let live
Once you take what's there to share
You've got to give, you got to give
Oh, don't let the changes get you down
You'll see the this world turned upside down
If you listen, you'll hear the word
When it comes around, when it comes around
Yeah
I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared
Once upon returning home
A touch of sadness but no fear
Once upon returning home
Yeah-I don't know what I cried about but
Reality removed all doubt
I felt warm but all alone
Once upon returning home
Oh-
Look around, there's work to do
A new life for the chosen few
The world sings in the same key, sweet harmony
Just when you thought you had it made
With fool's gold the road was paved
And circles get so big and wide
You can't see to the other side, other side
Oh, the long journey wore me down
To see this world turned upside down
There'll be some time before things
-Settle down-
I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared
Once upon returning home
A touch of sadness but no fear
Once upon returning home
I don't know what I cried about but
Reality removed all doubt
I felt warm but all alone
Once upon returning home
Returning home, yeah
Oh, don't let the changes get you down, no
You'll see the world turned upside down
If you listen, you'll hear the word
When it comes around, when it comes around
I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared
Once upon returning home
A tough of sadness but no fear
Once upon returning home
I don't know what I cried about but
Reality removed all doubt
I felt warm but all alone
Once upon returning home
Returning home, yeah
Oh, oh yeah
Coming home
I saw the ruins
Coming home
I saw the smoke clear
Coming home
I felt the world turn upside down
Coming home
Oh-
Coming home
Coming home
Coming home
Coming home
Coming home
