Homeward Bound by Mart Keen Thompson Sung by the Tabernacle Choir, on the Love is Spoken Here CD


Homeward Bound

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,

Why was the room so hazy, what had happed to her? She felt so much pain.
?Anakin, what is wrong with me what is happening to Me.? The last she remembered was Obi-Wan coming?..
Then choking, gasping, pleading, and then nothing.
?Obi-Wan? she whispered ?help me Obi-Wan?

When the summer?s ceased its gleaming.
When the corn is past its prime,
When adventure?s lost its meaning,

All I wanted was to go somewhere safe where we could be a family. I wanted to get away from the madness, from the fear and it was too late. My Anakin was gone, changed to someone I didn?t know.
?My Baby what will happen to my baby?? I cried


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.

She could feel the pull of the force calling her to join its centricity. ?No, I can?t I want to live, I must for these babies I?m having. I can?t die, I can?t?

She was given a vision of what would happen if she lived. She would be hunted down her babies would be killed. They needed to live separate lives. They would be well taken care of. With her part of the Force she could watch over and protect them. She was their mother and would not be gone.

She was given a choice. Live and loose it all, die and save the galaxy.

?Luke? She whispered to her only son trying to send him her imprint.
?Leia? My daughter, remember me, I wanted to live, and I wanted us to be happy. She thought as she touched her little face.

If you find it?s me you?re missing.
If you?re hoping I?ll return,
To your thoughts I?ll soon be listening.
In the road I?ll stop and turn.

?Obi-Wan there is still good in him, I know it? She whispered.

Then the wind will set me racing
As my journey nears its end,
And the path I?ll be retracing
When I?m homeward bound again

She closed her eyes, waiting for the end to come, instead of the blackness and nothingness she expected, she saw brilliance and light. She began to understand now what her choice did. In the end it would save her Anakin.

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.

I will always be there beside you Anakin, I will try to soften your heart. I will try to set you free. Our children will be my spirit, guiding you home again.

 

I liked that.
Nice work.

 

Ooh, interesting setting for this. And I thought the Before rendition was good.

 

This one of course I knew about but hadn't read unlike the before.

Since I think this is a day I am so streched to the limit and feeling a bit melancholy with the stress of all of it I will just take out my lap top and OD on it today.


Good job

 

Thanks oquidaun

Thanks for Reading Ish. It means much when you read one of my posts.

I hope you can relax today. I listened to this song many times last night waiting for Natasha to get off work.
