I Am Coming Home (From CW TV series “Arrow”)

Verse 1

Seven months at sea

Sunlight baked my skin until the color turned to mud

Clawing through the thickets

Lost everything I owned

Pre-Chorus

Green leaves and salt air

Iron in my palms

Forging something new

Chorus

Survival is a choice

Survival is a heavy weight

It takes a man to stay

It takes a ghost to wait

I am coming home

I am coming home

Post-Chorus

Hm-mm

Ooh

Ah-ah

Verse 2

Brother turned his back

Lies dripping off his chin like rotten fruit on vines

Found my target early

Snatched life away

Pre-Chorus

Green leaves and salt air

Iron in my palms

Forging something new

Chorus

Survival is a choice

Survival is a heavy weight

It takes a man to stay

It takes a ghost to wait

I am coming home

I am coming home

Post-Chorus

Hm-mm

Ooh

Ah-ah

Bridge

Draw the string back

Hold the breath tight

Release the sharp regret

Chorus

Survival is a choice

Survival is a heavy weight

It takes a man to stay

It takes a ghost to wait

I am coming home

I am coming home

Post-Chorus

Hm-mm

Ooh

Ah-ah
