Yellow Ribbon Project official song

tangerina · Black Tangerine

hoho...i found this, the official site for the Yellow ribbon project, http://www.yellowribbon.org.sg/

Just realised that the Yellow Ribbon song is not a new song esp created for this project, so i was really free and i surf ard the net and found this, rather unrelating to Tension but thok its still good to know, the song is actually originate from the Yellow Ribbon Tradition of America and the song covered is a popular song in the 70s called "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree" featuring Dawn & Tony Orlando. Common thing is that the song covered serve for a purpose of prisoner's homecoming, to grasp a better meaning behind the song, go here: http://www.americanfamilytraditions.com/yellow_ribbon.htm

Lyrics below:

"Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree"

(As recorded by Tony Orlando & Dawn)
Words & Music by IRWIN LEVINE/L. RUSSELL BROWN

I'm comin' home I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter tellin' you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me
If you still want me.

Woah tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years, do ya still want me
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree

Bus driver please look for me
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison and my love she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
I wrote and told her, please

Woah tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years do ya still want me
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree

Now the whole damn bus is cheering
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons round the ole oak tree

I'm comin home, mmm hmm

Tie a ribbon round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon round the ole oak tree

Tie a ribbon round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon round the ole oak tree
