i just heard of this song the other day, when all of a sudden my chorus teacher played it on the piano and everyone sang but me and my elementary school students. apparently we were the only one who didnt sing that song in fourth grade. it sounded beautiful anyways, sung by my 6th grade chorus class out of nowhere. so that day, i went home and searched it on youtube, heard it more beautifully, learned the lyrics, and now i LOVE it and it is stuck in my head constantly, which i dont mind :) it is a beautiful song, sung by anyone.

here are the lyrics:
.......................
Homeward Bound
(Marta Keen)

in the quiet misty morning,
when the moon has gone to bed,
when the sparrows stop their singing,
and the sky is clear and red.
when the summers ceased its gleaming,
when the corn is past its prime.
when adventures lost its meaning,
i'll be homeward bound in time.

bind me not to the pasture,
chain me not to the plow.
set me free to find my calling
and i'll return to you somehow.

if you find its me your missing,
if your hoping i'll return,
to your thoughts i'll soon be list'ning
in the road i'll stop and turn.
then the wind will set me racing
as my journey nears its end.
and the path i'll be retracing
when im homeward bound again.

in the quiet misty morning,
when the moon has gone to bed,
when the sparrows stop their singing,
i'll be homeward bound again.

i think the song is written by marta keen.
