symbols

a light a flag the signs of home
however far they're always there
we do not choose but we must roam

we polish silver gold and chrome
things need to seem refined and fair
a light a flag the signs of home

just out of sight the giant dome
reminds us of the weight of air
we do not choose but we must roam

we dig the soil the rich old loam
it repays well the work and care
a light a flag the signs of home

grooming ourselves with brush and comb
we wonder how our siblings fare
we do not choose but we must roam

and in the end in the sea-foam
we know that still there's more to dare
a light a flag the signs of home
we do not choose but we must roam
