The Road Home, Stephen Paulus | Dallas Chamber Choir

Описание: The late composer Stephen Paulus wrote on his website in May 2013: “[The Road Home] is pentatonic and that is part of its attraction. Pentatonic scales have been extant for centuries and are prevalent in almost all musical cultures throughout the world. They are universal.”

The Road Home [Michael Dennis Browne, 1940-; tune: “Prospect” from The Southern Harmony Songbook, 1835]

Tell me where is the road I can call my own,
That I left, that I lost,
So long ago?
All these years I have wandered,
Oh when will I know
There’s a way, there’s a road that will lead me home?

After wind, after rain
When the dark is done,
As I wake from a dream In a gold of day,
Through the air there’s a calling
From far away,
There’s a voice I can hear that will lead me home.

Rise up, follow me,
Come away is the call,
With love in your heart
As the only song;
There is no such beauty as where you belong,
Rise up, follow me,
I will lead you home.
