Leaving Home lyrics

It was a sunny day

When you learned to stand up

So proud and oh so brave

You made those tiny steps

Right into my arms

The day I went away

They said I had to leave

For glory and for peace

For honour and for boon

It won't be long until

Our enemies are banned

They take me back home soon

Say good bye but not farewell

My little boy

Say good bye and don't you cry

My little boy

It was a sunny day

When I learned to stand up

So fearful and afraid

I held you in my arms

So warm and so alive

The day I went away

They said I had to leave

For glory and for peace

For honour and for boon

It won't be long until

Our enemies are banned

They take me back home soon

Your picture in my heart

Will give me will and strength

And help me to hold out

I'll save the world for you

My little boy

I'll save the world for you

The winds of darkness will take me away

On wings of blankness I'm going astray

I'm going under

I'm losing my way

I'm freely falling

I'm going astray
