Where did you go my traveling son? Where do you lay your bones when the day is done? Its been so long since I held you, since I held you in my arms I'm searching the midnight sky to find your falling star. And over the weary land they all know you by name So make me proud, boy, and set their souls aflame I put you above all the dread and all the fear With your mother's love I'll ease all the pain The pain of ten thousand long years Since you've been gone I hear what people say
But they're thinking of you boy when they tremble, when they sin and when they pray And over the weary land they all know you by name So make me proud, boy, and set their souls aflame Come on home, come on home Come on home, come on home And over the weary land they all know you by name So make me proud, boy, and set their souls aflame Make me proud boy, make me proud boy Make me proud boy, then come on home Come on home, please come home...
