about

An Inuit father and son are forced to take shelter in white out conditions. As time passes, they realize that they might not make it out alive and decide to call their loved ones to say goodbye. Inspired by an interview with father, Johnny Oouvaut on CBC's 'As It Happens'.

lyrics

Home J.Shea


I had to get moving, so much to do
I should have waited until it was through
I had the answers, I had control
But not over nature, she swallowed me whole

With nowhere to turn to and no place to go
Iʼll rest for a while under blankets of snow
I love you, Louisa, we might not come back.
I canʼt stop the wind getting in through the cracks

Home, home
Whatever it takes, itʼs time to go home
Home, home
I made a mistake and itʼs time to go home

Holding each other, lost in the snow
If this is my time, Iʼm not ready to go
I love you son, this could be it
I love you dad, so Iʼm not going to quit

Home, home
Your mother is waiting, itʼs time to go home
Home, home
I canʼt stop shaking, Itʼs time to go home

Is there anyone out there, is anyone near?
My body is colder than my frozen tears
Iʼm learning a lesson out here in the snow
Live every moment until you let go

Home, home.
Someone remind us, itʼs time to go home
Home, home.
Somebody find us, itʼs time to go home
Someone remind us it’s time to go home
