The time has come to finally go home
There's no longer a need for us to roam
The child we've nurtured has surely grown
But it is for certain, can't be on his own

Herod is dead, his body wastes
But his own son still rules
If we return to our old town, 
It's likely we'd be the fools

A dream has awakened
The path is now clear
We alter our plans
We don't live in fear

We can't risk the child
We will go elsewhere
To Galilee, Nazareth
Should be safe there
Commentary
Matthew 21-23 - So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.
