Bodeans Going Home Lyrics

Going Home Lyrics

They said good-bye to all their friends

And left their humble homes behind

They'd heard about a chance up north

Amidst the noise and dirt and fire

And on the way they prayed to God

"Have mercy send us down a light"

And when the babies cried they told them close

"Mi hijo (my son) everything is alright"



Going home

On the wings of angels

Going home

On the wings of a snow white dove

Going home

On the wings of angels

Going home

On the wings of love



One walked his way around the town

The other took the name of Rose

They both never had much wealth

But each one knew how a flower grows

And they spoke a language in new ways

And raised their familes true to heart

Their blood runs through my veins so deep

I know they could never tear us apart



Yeah, they broke their backs just trying to stake a place

That they could call their own

And as we lay them down to sleep

I know in my heart that they're going home
