Come Home
Journey of the Lost: A Mother's Plea in 'Come Home'
Lyrics
Come, lay your head upon my breast
Come, seek comfort and solace by resting your head on my chest.
Come, imagine a world at rest
Come, envision a tranquil and peaceful world.
Come home, my son, my love
Come home, addressing the person as both a son and a beloved.
Bleeding in the shadow of the mountain
Bleeding in the shadow of challenges and difficulties.
Fighting to stand strong, yet weeping
Struggling to remain resilient while shedding tears.
To a narrow path he is bound
Metaphorically on a challenging life path.
Alas, my son is lost, yet his soul is found
Expressing concern that the person is lost in life but spiritually intact.
Set out to seek wisdom and honor
Embarking on a journey for knowledge and honor.
Off to find the wonder
Heading towards the extraordinary.
Though I see you in struggle
Even in the midst of hardship, the speaker acknowledges the person's struggle.
Come, lay your head upon my breast
Reiteration of the invitation for solace and comfort.
Come, imagine a world at rest
Encouragement to envision a serene world.
Come home, my son, my love
A repeated call for the person to return home, emphasizing love.
Dust has claimed your chair
Symbolic mention of the person's absence with an empty chair.
Amongst us, your placemat sits bare
Highlighting the void left by the person's absence.
Your step fades and voice escapes
Describing the fading presence of the person through memories.
Alas, your touch was once so fair
Expressing sorrow for the loss of the person's gentle touch.
Set out to seek wisdom and honor
Continuation of the person's journey for wisdom and honor.
Off to find the wonder
Seeking the extraordinary in life.
Though I see you in struggle
Acknowledging the person's ongoing struggles.
Come, lay your head upon my breast
Repeated invitation for solace and comfort.
Come, imagine a world at rest
Encouragement to visualize a peaceful world.
Awake, I dream of your world at peace
Yearning for the person's world to find tranquility.
Drift into the calm
Entering a state of calmness.
Loosen your burden, my son
Advising the person to release their burdens.
Let it sink into the sea
Metaphorically suggesting the person let go of their troubles.
My son, my love
Reiteration of the person's dual identity as a son and a beloved.
Come back, back to us
An earnest plea for the person to return to their loved ones.
Come home, come home
A repeated invitation to come back home.
Once more, before you leave
Asking for one more return before departure.
