Home, in this game we play
Stunned, then whisked away
Staring out into a nightmare
Stuck years in the past
I stepped through the looking glass
And descended to an empty world.
Breaking through from the ground
Is there still hope
Waiting here to be freed
Can this world be restored, will it rise up
If I planted the seeds
Could I bring it back to life?
Those that died, they left behind
Cryptic writings to explain
Four heroes once were promised
Too late, these tablets and fossils
All that remains
Breaking through from the ground
Is there still hope
Waiting here to be freed
Can this world be restored, will it rise up
If I planted the seeds
Could I bring it back to life?
We will flood the sky
With unearthly light
But if every lantern dies
Do we all fall down?
Just a wish to sow
So I carved our hope
Filled it up
Then let it go
In a world lighter than air
Could a dream that’s lost be healed?
The hope I held beside me
Took flight as I entered this wasteland
Daylight revealed
Buried under the ground
Is there no hope
Waiting here to be freed?
Like this world we’ll be dead
Will we rise up
If I planted the seeds...
When I fall back to sleep and I’m dreaming
I’ll look up to the clouds
If it’s out there to see, to believe in
There’s no reason to doubt
Step out into the world
We're not homestuck
Take the chance to be free
‘Cause this land can’t be dead
We will rise up
So I planted the seeds
And I’ll bring it back to life.

I'm not a homestuck fan. But I'll be darned if I didn't admit that its got some freaking good music. I never thought I would be listening to orchestra on my own time. fryjam
This was the first homesick song I'd heard after years away from the ip and so its name and grand vibes of victory and triumphant return resonate heavy as I reinvestigate homestuck! Truly an awesome track an ear worm to boot that you'll be humming for days Quinn Hartman
