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
