Today the wars have ended

and I am changed forever on

I've stopped the bleeding from my head

and held my hands up high



the older me is at my feet

he screams for some attention

he speaks of how I used to be

untouched, out there, alone



this is my homeland

a place in the sun

you are my homeland



since you've occoured

since you've been here

my demons have stopped breathing

their voices echo in my lungs

yet I don't need to scream



I can't believe we're standing here

and I don't need my shields up high

I want the risk, I want to dare

I am afraid no more



this is my homeland

a place in the sun

you are my homeland

my place in the sun

you are my homeland

my place in the sun

you are my homeland
