Paroles de Going Home

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
