Safe and sound back home again,
Let the fire burn bright.
Lost and found back home again,
Sing our stories all night.
So long the road for weary toes.
Rest your bones at home again.
We revere the summer’s eve,
O, the reverie.
Ran away at seventeen,
With your high school sweetheart.
Regretful head and grateful bed,
Now the family tree starts.
Golden ticket in your hand,
Given keys to your haven.
Traded that for an M16
To fight for your nation.
You set sail to find yourself
Somewhere in the yonder.
Got more questions than answers,
But was your time squandered?
Well the road is long for weary toes
Only to come home again.
Have some cheer and summer beer,
Enjoy the reverie.
