Time To Go Home
Songhoy Blues & David Ferguson Lyrics

We wanted to see the world
Go out and speed to roam
And after these days among you
It's time to go home
When I was a little boy
O all of the world was mine
What is it to be a man?
But to know when it is time.

At home we sing to people who hear The words we sing are listened to clearly
The sound of fire is in our ears
It's time to go, time to go, time to go home
This world ain't ours, leave it behind
It's time to go, time to go, time to go home

We came from our home to leave
Some horror of war behind us
Wherever we look, we see
Those horrors, they come to find us
Riding on pirate ships
And blowing on human bone
Blank faces and shaking hips
It's time to go, time to go home

At home we sing to people who hear
The words we sing are listened to clearly
Sound of fire is in our ears
It's time to go, time to go, time to go home
Pack our bags and clear our minds
It's time to go, time to go, time to go home

I'm a man
And you who are near me
You help me to understand
What it can mean to hear me
I'm sorry I went away, in a way
And now I'm returning
The next time I leave your side
Will be
When my body's burning

At home we sing to people who hear
The words we sing are listened to clearly
The sound of love is in our ears
It's time to go, time to go, time to go home
How could we know what we would find?
It's time to go, time to go, time to go home
