In summer days I reminisce

The fallen leaves of past

Sunshine warms the asphalt road

I drive back home at last

In hand I take my horn and key

In heart I carry fear

Will I be welcomed back again

By those I hold so dear?

I left with hardened bitterness

I resented what was done

I return again with hopefulness

I return to see someone

The door is opened by a face

I do not know their name

I fear I now will not fit in

I fear things aren’t the same

Before my heart can falter fast

Before I isolate

A friendly voice refrains my hope

And calls me to the gate

A thousand faces ease my fear

A thousand songs they sing

Each one brighter than the last

And a smile to me bring

The hero returns with fear untold

But their heart did lead them true

To the place they called their home

The hero returns to you
