Come the morning I’ll be far from here
Slowly rising in another sphere

Old world goodbye cause I’ll be
Home in the sky in the morning bye bye

Stars are crying over my old house
But I’m still breathing happy above the clouds

Home
Home at last because
All of the bad times are past

Music is a lady that I still love
Cause she gives me the air that I breathe

Music is a lady that I still need
Cause she brings me the food that I eat

Come the morning I’ll be far from here
Slowly rising in another sphere
Home, world goodbye
Cause I’ll be home in the sky in the morning
Bye Bye
