Home - A Song from 1995

 
Will the stars come out
Will they come out tonight?
Will the stars come out
Or will they sleep all night?
The moon is quiet
Without a voice,
It’s lonely tears
Fall without choice.
 
I’m going to a place
Where no one has gone before,
I’m going somewhere
Where I cannot fall.
I’m going to a place
Which will not leave me alone,
Where I’m going
I think I’d call it home.
 
There are places
You cannot go,
There are faces
You must not know.
We could pretend
Mine is one of those,
Or we could make amends
And find our way home.
 
Do you call this home
A place where you belong?
Or is it just a home
Where you can do more wrong?
 
Will the stars come out
Will they come out tonight?
Will the stars come out
Or will they hide all night?
Behind clouds of gloom
I face up to the sky,
And stare at the moon
With tears in my eyes.
 
You can’t call this home
A place where you belong,
How can you know
What is right or wrong?
