Israel Hands

I’ve been on a ship
Destined for greater things than these
I’ve been all around
So take me home
So take me home
Daddy’s older now
And his boots have filled with salt
His life has changed somehow
Of his eyes knew
As the clothes he outgrew
Four hundred years on the great blue alone
He’s renewed the life that he’s had all along
I’ve been on a ship
Destined for greater things than these
I’ve been all around
So take me home
So take me home
If our brooms could speak
And our swords could raise themselves
Our lives lay incomplete
All brushed aside for a greater empire
Leave what we have to our God up above
The ocean’s allowed us to all that we’ve done
For I’ve been on a ship
Destined for greater things than these
I’ve been all around
So take me home
So take me home
Take me home
(I've been all around, all around)
Take me home
(I've been all around, all around)
Take me home
(I've been all around, all around)
Take me home
I’ve been on a ship
Destined for greater things than these
I’ve been all around
So take me home
So take me home
