about

--More from "Ivanhoe." Returning from the Crusades, Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe has been disinherited by his father for supporting King Richard the Lionhearted rather than Saxon royalty. He disguises himself as a religious pilgrim and longs for the day when he can redeem himself and reveal his true identity to his proud father, Cedric, and his beloved Rowena.

NOTE: Try to imagine a big, strong Broadway-style voice singing this. That instead of what my friend Tom calls "apartment voice," which is quiet and restrained so as not to disturb the neighbors.

intro

I WISH I COULD TELL HER
I'M HERE – ROWENA!
I WISH I COULD TELL MY FATHER
AND MY COUNTRY
I AM HOME ENGLAND

I WISH I COULD TELL THEM ALL
I'M HERE
I WISH I COULD SHOUT IT OUT
I'M HERE!

verse 1

I AM HOME, ENGLAND
YOUR DISINHERITED SON
HAS RETURNED
HOME AND ENGLAND
THOSE WORDS
ARE SO WARM
TELL ME
WHEN WILL YOU REMEMBER ME
YOUR SON YOU'VE SPURNED?

verse 2

I AM HOME, ENGLAND
WHY DO I SEE ALL MY
BRIDGES HAVE BURNED?
HOME AND ENGLAND
WHAT MORE
CAN I DO?
TELL ME
HOW I WISH THAT I COULD TELL YOU
WHAT I'VE LEARNED

chorus

I'VE BEEN AWAY AT WAR
BUT THE THINGS I WAS FIGHTING FOR
HAVE ALL BEEN CHANGED
EVERYTHING IS STRANGE
I'VE GOT TO MAKE THIS MY HOME
ONCE MORE

verse 3

I AM HOME, FATHER
YOUR DISINHERITED SON
HAS COME BACK
HOW TO REACH YOU
IS NOW MY CRUSADE
SOMEHOW
I WILL LIGHT A TORCH
WHERE IT IS NOW SO BLACK

chorus and coda

I'VE BEEN AWAY AT WAR
BUT THE THINGS I WAS FIGHTING FOR
HAVE ALL BEEN CHANGED
EVERYTHING IS STRANGE
I'VE GOT TO MAKE THIS MY HOME
A PLACE FROM WHERE I WON'T ROAM
OR DISAPPEAR

I WISH I COULD TELL YOU ALL
I'M HERE
I AM HOME ENGLAND!
