lyrics

Now we’re home again
The journey’s at its end
The deed is done, victory won
The burden cast into the flames from whence it came
I think we’ve earned some rest
Believe we passed the test
We have undone what my cousin began
Long ago on Thorin’s quest

Can you believe it, we’ve been to a real coronation
Where the king bent his knee to me and you
Under his rule, the lands will blossom and prosper
King Elessar is righteous, handsome and true

We journeyed into night
We chose to stand and fight
Your hand in mine in the face of the tide
There’s no one in the world that I’d rather have by my side
We heard the Nazgûl’s call
Saw empires fall
Short but standing tall
Together through it all

I put down the quill, sigh with relief, I’m finally done with the story
Despite the horrors within, I’d do it again in a heartbeat
To see you for a second safe in the loving arms of your family
This is the only proper home that I have ever known but I didn’t save it for me

The road goes ever on and on, like a river running strong
It swept us there and back again, from the slopes of the Orodruin
When I was much too weak to stand, you carried me through the blackened lands
To the end of everything and there’s still no place I would have rather been
Soon I will be gone
But you must carry on
I’ll only be a world away
And we’ll meet again some day
