Lyrics

With my little boy and girl on my knee

I tell them stories so religiously

And I assure them that nothing was wrong

But all around us, a war it was on

And for some reason I could not hide

My deep concerns I was keeping inside

From out of the mouths of babes there always came

Those burning questions, always the same

Where do we come from, we want to know

With a faraway look in your eye where do you go?

You always told us never to cry

But we see a tear way deep in your faraway eye

There far behind us we left that fair land

Memories buried in the shifting of sand

That little boy and girl, now they have grown

And they have children of their very own

And for some reason I cannot hide

My deep emotions I'm keeping inside

From out of the mouths of babes there always came

Those burning questions, always the same

Where do we come from, we want to know

With a faraway look in your eye where do you go?

You always told us never to cry

But we see a tear way deep in your faraway eye

You came from blood lines so bold and so free

You came from standards of pure decency

You came from brave hearts that cherished the land

You came from believers of God's mighty plan

And for some reason I cannot hide

All of the answers I'm holding inside

So for the ears of babes, my words stay the same

Be proud of your heritage, be proud of your name

That's where you came from, and now you know

With a faraway look in my eye, that's where I go

And though I told you never to cry

I'm entitled a tear way deep in my faraway eye

That's where you come from, and now you know

With a faraway look in my eye, that's where I go

And though I told you never to cry

I'm entitled a tear way deep in my faraway eye
