Going Home Lyrics by Jeff Wayne

Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of Spartacus

0

Palene: For a year we fought and still the Romans couldn't tame us. Whatever we suffered, whatever lay ahead, was worth that precious gift of freedom, even if only for one brief moment. Spartacus and Crixus were our leaders, but a hundred thousand lives were staked on the same cause. The cause of freedom. The dream of home
Spartacus' Army:
In the wind I can hear
Voices calling me near
I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home
He's going home
She's going home
We're going home
Home at last
At last! (spoken)
In my dreams l can see
Someone beckoning me
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
He's going home
She's going home
We're going home
Home at last
At last! (spoken)
Palene:
Some of our people - slaves from birth - had never known freedom. But even my beloved Spartacus and I, who had grown up free, had almost forgotten how it felt
Stolen from us by the Romans, it came back to us then like a birth-right, or a long-lost love
Where the air is sweeter
And the river rolls on into a silver sea
There's a fire burning
Somewhere in a distant land
And I'm finally returning
Back home
Where I long to be
Where I know I've gotta go because it's calling me
Home
Where I long to see
All the people and the places that are part of me
I'm going home, I'm going home
I'm going home, I'm going home
Where the skies are clearer
Getting nearer to home with every step l take
Heading for my own land
I am following my heart
And I'm gonna be my own man
Back home
Where I long to be
Where I know I've gotta go because it's calling me
Home
Where I long to see
All the people and the places that are part of me
I'm going home, I'm going home
I'm going home, I'm going home
Gonna reach a world I never thought I'd see
And a better life is waiting there for me
In the arms of someone
Who will care for me
When my body's weary
She'll make me feel complete
Healing me with her sweet love
Her sweet love
Where the stars shine brighter
Been a fighter too long to simply give up now
So it's not surprisin'
Knowing that my sights are set
Somewhere on the far horizon
Back home
Home I'm-a-coming, coming
Home I'm-a-coming
Home I'm-a-coming, coming
Home I'm-a-coming
Home I'm-a-coming, coming
Home I'm-a-coming
Back home
Where I long to be
Where l know I've gotta go because its calling me
Home! Where I long to see
All the people and the places that are part of me
I'm going home, I'm going home
I'm going home, I'm going home
Palene: How long could it last? My dreams returned and robbed my nights of sleep. Dreams of armies marching from Rome against us. I told no one what I dreamed. I kept the fearful future to myself. Let the Gods decide our destiny, not me
In the wind I can hear
Voices calling me near
I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home
He's going home
She's going home
We're going home
Home at last
At last! (spoken)
