Going Home (David Jensen session 16th January 1983) Songtext
Making the moon from the ex-colony
Treated like some kind of war refugee
(We′re here because you are there)
A brand new money to burn
(We were here because you were there)
A brand new culture to learn
Is this my home?
This is my home
This is where I'm from
Is this home?
This must be home
But is this where I belong?
All men are equal but some more than others
Except that it sometimes depends on your color
(Good morning young man, where you from?)
A brand new language to speak
(Good morning young man, where you from?)
A brand new food to eat
Is this my home?
This is my home
This is where I′m from
Is this home?
This must be home
But is this where I belong?
Racist politicians call for repatriation
White bureaucrats ask for black-people-tation
(Wherever you lay your hats, you're home)
Is that true?
(Wherever you lay your hats, you're home)
If that′s true, why are so many people confused?
Is this my home?
This is my home
This is where I′m from
Is this home?
This must be home
But is this where I belong?
Is this my home?
This is my home
This is where I'm from
Is this home?
This must be home
But is this where I belong?
Is this my home?
This is my home
This is where I′m from
Is this home?
This must be home
But is this where I belong?
Is this my home?
This is my home
This is where I'm from
Is this home?
This must be home
But is this where I belong?
Treated like some kind of war refugee
(We′re here because you are there)
A brand new money to burn
(We were here because you were there)
A brand new culture to learn
Is this my home?
This is my home
This is where I'm from
Is this home?
This must be home
But is this where I belong?
All men are equal but some more than others
Except that it sometimes depends on your color
(Good morning young man, where you from?)
A brand new language to speak
(Good morning young man, where you from?)
A brand new food to eat
Is this my home?
This is my home
This is where I′m from
Is this home?
This must be home
But is this where I belong?
Racist politicians call for repatriation

(Wherever you lay your hats, you're home)
Is that true?
(Wherever you lay your hats, you're home)
If that′s true, why are so many people confused?
Is this my home?
This is my home
This is where I′m from
Is this home?
This must be home
But is this where I belong?
Is this my home?
This is my home
This is where I'm from
Is this home?
This must be home
But is this where I belong?
Is this my home?
This is my home
This is where I′m from
Is this home?
This must be home
But is this where I belong?
Is this my home?
This is my home
This is where I'm from
Is this home?
This must be home
But is this where I belong?
