D Today's the day we gather round

C G D To meet the starships coming down.

D Glorious smiles on every face.

C G D We excitedly wait for our friends from space.

D An ecstatic feeling we ride on.

C G D A thousand voices join in song.

Chorus:

Am C D 1,2) They are coming home.

3) We are coming home.

4) They have made it home.

Am C D 1,2,4) With tales of where they've roamed.

3) With tales of where we've roamed.

Am C Em What a joyous day

Em 1,2) They're on their

3) We're on our

4) They've found their

D way!

D A dreamlike state of lucid mind.

C G D Something new for human kind.

D We've slept too long while we're awake, but

C G D always hoped we'd cut the cake.

D Now it's time to raise the knife and

C G D sing the song to start our life.

{Chorus}

Em C G Every strangers' eye you meet is looking for a home.

Em C D Very few remember that we are not alone.

Em C G Now aliens approach us, will we let them in?

C G will we be their friends?

C G And offer them our hand?

A We can!

D We catch a glimpse, a shooting star.

C G D Something’s gleaming from afar.

D A glowing light is coming near.

C G D Sparks fly out, now ten are clear.

D Swirling patterns give delight.

C G D A colorful dance of singing light.

{Chorus with different lyrics}

D Silence fills the atmosphere. The

C G D entourage is almost here.

D Anticipation replaces sound. The

C G D familiar ships have reached the ground.

D Our eyes meet these illustrious beings.

C G D Nostalgic tears flow as we sing.

{Chorus with different lyrics}

C G D They've found their way!
