Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Kansas or about the 1970s in general.

It’s empty now, no friendly face and nothing lives within
I look around and I find no trace to tell me what has been

So far I’ve come to find there’s no one here, no life & fear
I came for nothing, they have gone
And Nobody’s Home

I came to learn perhaps to teach but I can tell somehow
The world that I was sent to reach has got no future now
Across the galaxy to spread the word and no one heard
I came for nothing I’m alone and Nobody’s Home

A requiem was never sung
No elegy was read
No monument was carved in stone in memory of the dead
For those who made this place do not remain they feel no pain
A stranger fate was never known

Some folks are interested in word and phrase etymology. It is easy to understand the lyrics to Nobody’S Home by Kansas if you think through it. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Nobody’S Home" means the words set to the music of Nobody’S Home, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Kansas. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
