Is the sky still blue above me, laced with white the wind brought from afar<br>
Blue as banners high and mighty, indigo and silver tree and stars<br>
Blue as oceans I have never seen or blue as I recall her eyes have been</p>

Do you have news from fields of plenty green and golden spread across the plain<br>
Took it with me etched and painted just in case I could not come again<br>
Brown earth holds me since your age began on her turns around a yellow sun</p>

I went to face desaster for the colours of my home<br>
Been one among a million guys who would have come alone<br>
A thousand years have passed and still I‘m not allowed to roam<br>
For I was standing, falling and tremblin‘ beneath the colours of my home</p>

Black and white and none between them standing eye to eye without a sound<br>
Amber arrows whined in anger, dimmed the light and stained the dusty ground<br>
Men like timber chopped against the grain, all around the mighty fell like rain</p>

I went to face desaster for the colours of my home<br>
Been one among a million guys who would have come alone<br>
A thousand years have passed and still I‘m not allowed to roam<br>
For I was standing, falling and tremblin‘ beneath the colours of my home</p>

I went to face desaster for the colours of my home<br>
Been one among a million guys who would have come alone<br>
A thousand years have passed and still I‘m not allowed to roam<br>
For I was standing, falling and tremblin‘ beneath the colours of my home</p>

Is the sky still blue above me, blue as banners shading our lines<br>
Is the grass that I lie under green as it has been before your time<br>
before your time</p>
