NormanH Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 This song may not strike a chord with all of you, but I don't take it as a 'looney left-wing' suggestion to let all the world into the UK (as it might be accused of by the likes of UKIP)I hear it as a plea to see them as individuals with families and people who love them, not as a swarm of bodies on video filmed on a iPod..Coming Hamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1N-N6Z ... 8P&html5=1Put a light in the windowYour brother's coming homeSet a meal on the tableYour brother's coming homeHe'll be tired and wearyAfter all these years aloneHe's coming home, your brother's coming homeTake the chain from the door,Your sister's coming homeOpen wide your armsYour sister's coming homeDon't leave her standing thereAfter all the pain she's knownShe's coming home, your sister's coming homeChorusComing home to a place they've never beenComing home to a land they've never seenComing home to a family they have never knownA' Jock Tamson's bairnsAre coming homeHe's been angry and afraidYour father's coming homeHe's been hounded and betrayedYour father's coming homeAnd with every act of kindnessA seed of hope is sownHe's coming home. Your father's coming homeBring her in from the coldYour mother's coming homeSit her down by the fireYour mother's coming homeMake her warm, make her welcomeBefore the chance is goneShe's coming home, your mother's coming homeFrom Iraq and Zimbabwe,Your family's coming homeAnd from Turkey and SomaliaYour family's coming homeSeeking rest and refugeThey have never knownThey're coming home, your family's coming homeText and melody herehttp://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/sco ... 572778.aspAttachments areaPreview YouTube video Ian Bruce - Comin' Hame ( Bollington Folk Club )Ian Bruce - Comin' Hame ( Bollington Folk Club ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I think the refugees in Calais are very fortunate that the French authorities don't have the possibility of sending them to camps in a neighbouring country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
