Going Home

Gary Osborne, Jeff Wayne

Palene: For a year we fought and still the Romans couldn't tame us. Whatever we suffered, whatever lay ahead, was worth that precious gift of freedom, even if only for one brief moment. Spartacus and Crixus were our leaders, but a hundred thousand lives were staked on the same cause. The cause of freedom. The dream of home

Spartacus' Army:
In the wind I can hear
Voices calling me near
I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home

He's going home
She's going home
We're going home
Home at last

At last! (spoken)

In my dreams l can see
Someone beckoning me
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home

He's going home
She's going home
We're going home
Home at last

At last! (spoken)

Palene:
Some of our people - slaves from birth - had never known freedom. But even my beloved Spartacus and I, who had grown up free, had almost forgotten how it felt
Stolen from us by the Romans, it came back to us then like a birth-right, or a long-lost love

Where the air is sweeter

And the river rolls on into a silver sea
There's a fire burning
Somewhere in a distant land
And I'm finally returning

Back home
Where I long to be
Where I know I've gotta go because it's calling me
Home
Where I long to see
All the people and the places that are part of me
I'm going home, I'm going home
I'm going home, I'm going home

Where the skies are clearer

Getting nearer to home with every step l take
Heading for my own land
I am following my heart
And I'm gonna be my own man

Back home
Where I long to be
Where I know I've gotta go because it's calling me
Home
Where I long to see
All the people and the places that are part of me
I'm going home, I'm going home
I'm going home, I'm going home

Gonna reach a world I never thought I'd see
And a better life is waiting there for me

In the arms of someone

Who will care for me
When my body's weary
She'll make me feel complete

Healing me with her sweet love

Her sweet love

Where the stars shine brighter

Been a fighter too long to simply give up now
So it's not surprisin'
Knowing that my sights are set
Somewhere on the far horizon

Back home
Home I'm-a-coming, coming
Home I'm-a-coming
Home I'm-a-coming, coming
Home I'm-a-coming
Home I'm-a-coming, coming
Home I'm-a-coming
Back home
Where I long to be
Where l know I've gotta go because its calling me
Home! Where I long to see
All the people and the places that are part of me
I'm going home, I'm going home
I'm going home, I'm going home

Palene: How long could it last? My dreams returned and robbed my nights of sleep. Dreams of armies marching from Rome against us. I told no one what I dreamed. I kept the fearful future to myself. Let the Gods decide our destiny, not me

In the wind I can hear
Voices calling me near
I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home

He's going home
She's going home
We're going home
Home at last

At last! (spoken)
