The fertile soil is calling me to come back to a place I used to stay
Back in my early days before I knew I had to get away
The land was so alive then with the promise of new life yet to be
Would it be the same or just an image in my aging memory

So I went back I was wondering i fit would feel the same
I was just a boy then not picturing the man that I became
I looked around for someone I might know
But I remained a stranger, a relic from the days of long ago

The fertile soil is calling me home
The fertile soil is calling me home
Back where I come from

And what I found was the feelings that I once had, now had died
And in the town I was choking, I was empty down inside
A desolate reminder how I used to be
The fertile soil of yesterday is now just a dusty memory, memory

The fertile soil is calling me home 
The fertile soil is calling me home
Yes, it's calling me
The fertile soil is calling me home
Oh, yeah
The fertile soil is calling me home
The fertile soil is calling me home
