Waiting to Go Home
I'll dance till my heart sings;
Sings a song of joy,
Sings a song of peace,
Sings a song of freedom,
Freedom to spread its wings and fly.
Fly to the top of the highest mountain
And view the world below.
The world of diversity,
The world of change,
The world of choice,
The world of love.
And there I will find my heart waiting,
Waiting to go home.
