Tell Me When

Ishi, tell me when
Now that I understand
The part I played
Please take my hand

This wasn't the real thing here
Just an elaborate form of school
You graduated back to whence we came
If I did too, wouldn't it be cool?

Cuz, see now that I finally remembered why 
 Now more than ever I am homesick
I promise to take the lessons I've learned
To use them and make them stick

I guess it's not for me to say
When I'm done with all my learning
Just know I want to join you home
So my soul will end it's yearning
