Crickets are chirping

To the awakening mother Earth

Frogs are croaking again,

I am walking on the land

That I had walked long ago

As I am walking back, to Ohio.

Ohio I have missed you

My long gone friend

How good it is to be back home,

I am sorry that I left you

But now I am home again

Back to my home, of Ohio,

Ohio don’t you leave me

Like I had left you

Trying to find myself a better home,

I have searched and I had prayed

But now I am home again

Back to my home of, Ohio.

Crickets are chirping

To the awakening mother Earth

Frogs are croaking once again,

Now I am walking with them

As I walk down the wooded path

Back to my home, of Ohio.
