Take Me Home
John Blek and The Rats Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me back to the land where I came from
I wanna roam those fields
Show me the way, cause that's what I need
Is there a map, cause I don't want to stray
It's been to long
Take me back
Yeah, take me back
Take me back
Take me back to the place that feels like home to me
Take me back, dig my roots into ground
It's the land that gave me shelter, when the rain poured down on me
Treated me kind, raised me up
Yeah
Take me back
Please, take me back
Yeah, take me back
I wanna go back, I wanna see those fields
Let my eyes catch that light
Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me back
A vision and a dream, lush colors
Fantasy in form, vivid stream of conscious
Blue skies and fertile soil, helping hands and open doors
Let me through, I can't wait anymore yeah
Take me back
Please, take me back
Yeah, take me back
I wanna go back, I wanna see those fields
Let my eyes catch that light
Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me
I think I know love, I know where it dwelt
Returning home is the higher plan
Ignite a bushfire deep inside
Burning desire, take off to the light
The day will arrive, that I'll pack my bags
I know where to go, won't turning back
The sun on my face and you by my side
I know it will happen soon
Put my feet on solid ground, yeah
Take me back
Take me back
Yeah, take me back
I wanna go back, I wanna see those fields




Let my eyes catch that light
Take me, take me, take me, take me, take me back
