Flying Home

It had come, the big day
The Referendum, 2015, on Friday 22nd May

You've saved your pennies, packed your bag and head for the midnight train
The night air's cold, the road is long step into the mizzling rain
And you've called into work said you can't make it said you'd take your days
Cause you're heading home to make your mark and change your country's ways

You're a man on a mission, you're a girl on the run
You're a step into the future, where we're seen as one
You've words you need to tell them, you've papers to be signed
You've hearts need to be opened, you've new heights to climb
And it's the start
With love in your heart
And it's today
You're well on your way

Hey, something's pulling you back where you belong.
Something's driving you to change these things and right a wrong
And your brothers and sisters will meet you there when you arrive
You're a million miles away, there's a change coming and it starts today
And it's there in a story shared in a look, a smile across an aeroplane aisle
You're not alone when you're flying home

The wheels lift off the ground, push back into your seat
And you're thinking what you've left and what you'll find on your lamplit street
And the traffic that awaits you and the coach trip that's bumper to boot
It'll do for all the dresses on hold, budding flowers, tailored suits

Oh something's pulling you back where you belong
Something's driving you to change these things and right a wrong
And your brothers and sisters will meet you there when you arrive
You're a million miles away, there's a change coming and it starts today
And it's there in the story shared in a look, a smile across an aeroplane aisle
You're not alone when you're flying...

Your choice, their voice, your vote, their future, you see it too
Yes equality needs you to lift them high
Your neighbours, strangers and friends need you tonight

We'll date the hate, scream enough's enough and love is love
We'll fight for The South, then storm The North
We'll evoke the 34th

You're a man on a mission, you're a girl just through the door
Your bags are taken upstairs, bare feet against the floor
It's home it's known it's stable, there's hugs and love exchanged
There's minds around the table that still need to be changed
Family's insight
You could give that right
Feelings you're keeping down
Have been coming around

Something's pulling you to home shores
And it's the 34th
I'm a million miles away, there's a change coming and it starts today
And it's there in a story shared in a look, a smile across an aeroplane aisle
You're not alone when you're flying home
