lyrics

THIS VILLAGE

This village draws me
I hear it calling me back through the years
Its people are its life-blood
I am its joy; I am its tears

Makers were forged here
To forge a bond no cruel hands could destroy
Artists' hands seized it
Lost lovers grieved for it
Builders have reached for its skies
Poets have captured its beauty
They speak of its sad beauty now

This village haunts me
Its whispering hurt tears at my soul
Why did I forsake you?
Welcome me back welcome me home

A sacred bond exists here
Between the land and the people it owns
It grants no escape from the realms of its fate
It reaps the crops we have sown
This village has made me all that I am
This village is calling me home

(Gary Miller)
