The Call

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And that word grew louder and louder
Till it was a battle cry

I'll come back,
When you call me
No need to say goodbye.

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before.
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war.

Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye.
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye.

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet.
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget.

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
Till they're before your eyes.

You'll come back when they call you,
No need to say goodbye.
You'll come back when they call you,
No need to say goodbye.
