When I returned to the south lands, the land I was born in
I'd been many years travelling, a long time away
Oh, maybe I'd changed some, in truth a little older
But I felt like a stranger who'd lost his way
And I looked to the north winds
And listened for a whisper
The mountains were calling
Come on home
Oh, land of the north wind, I want to walk in your forest
I want to climb your mountains and reach for the sky
Like the golden eagle in its flight for freedom
I'm taking the high road, and I'm learning to fly
And I looked to the north winds
And listened for a whisper
The mountains were calling
Come on home
And you're nobody's mistress, you're not easily taken
Once forsaken you won't be crossed
You hide your beauty behind your thunder
And the false intruder is easily lost
And I looked to the north winds
And listened for a whisper
The mountains were calling
Come on home
And I looked to the north winds
And listened for a whisper
The mountains were calling
Come on home
Oh rage on, north wind, take a message to the mountains
I'm crossing your border, I can weather your storm
I'm the prodigal returning, looking for shelter
I was a long time learning and I'm coming home
And I looked to the north winds
And listened for a whisper
The mountains were calling
Come on home
Come on home, come on home
Come on home, come on home
