about

Taken from Oktoba's debut album 'Smoke Signals'

lyrics

Oh Father don’t be sad
Your sons are doing all they can
To rule, the name of their past

And Mother I know you are tired
You’ve done your best of all of your life
And know, we won't forget

But when the rain is falling on the fire
Smoke is blowing signs to go

We pack our bags and wave to home
Suddenly we’re on our own

Call me right
Call me wrong
Call this dream too long
Goodbye I’m not coming home

And Brothers yeah sure we are tight
We had our doubts
We had our fights
We learnt to hold the fort

As a family some tears were shed
But when laughter sung we broke the break
There’s no peace without war

But when the rain is falling on the fire
Smoke is blowing signs to go

We pack our bags and wave to home
Suddenly we’re on our own

Call me right
Call me wrong
Call this dream too long
Goodbye I’m not coming home

Call me right
Call me wrong
Call this dream too long
Goodbye I’m not coming home

Call me right
Call me wrong
Call this dream too long
Goodbye I’m not coming home

Call this dream too long
Goodbye I’m not coming home
