Come Back Home - Live at House of Butter

from Live at House of Butter by Tattiana Aqeel

lyrics

I left the country yesterday. I have the privilege to return unscathed
But I have friends who cannot leave and come back home
I thought I'd change my rhythm here
I'd have a break from pain of loss and fear
O but my love is over there, she can't come back home
Come back home

Black and Brown stand tall
A mighty tree that can't fall
O how I wish it could be over now so you can
Come back home (repeat)

I put my fists up in the air and use my feet to march and rally there
O but my body's still abused by those who claim this home
And call it hope

Black and Brown stand tall
A mighty tree that can't fall
O how I wish it could be over now so you can
Come back home (repeat)

I gather help from family and ask my ancestors to protect me
Their mighty struggle is not won, God rest their souls
I have a hope I cannot lose
Though we are wary and our strengths misused
Who breaks or paves the road ahead for us to call this home
And make our own

Black and Brown stand tall
A mighty tree that can't fall
O how I wish it could be over now so you can
Come back home (repeat)
