Mass Effect The ENDING We DESERVED!
Mass Effect · Shepard & Tali
The story in the song
“I Have Home” is a cinematic Mass Effect fan song and music video imagining the future Talimancers always wanted after the Destroy ending: Tali’Zorah finds Shepard alive in the rubble, and together they finally build the life the war almost stole from them.
From Shepard’s recovery aboard the Normandy… to Anderson’s memorial… to a proposal on Rannoch, a wedding, a home, and a family — this is a love story about survival, grief, healing, and the peace that comes after the end of the galaxy.

Lyrics
Ash in the sky where the citadel burned
Signals are gone... every channel returned
But under the stone, through the smoke and chrome
I hear you breathe... and I'm not alone
I searched the silence where the war had been
Dust on your armor, blood on your skin
My hands were shaking inside my gloves
Keelah... I thought I had lost my love
Then rubble moved where your shadow lay
A broken breath found its way (found its way)
You opened your eyes through the shattered dome
And the stars came back - because you came home
Every prayer from the Migrant Fleet
Every promise we tried to keep
All the worlds we fought to save
Led you back... from the grave
You came back to me, you came back to me
Through the fire, through the fall of the galaxy
When the war went dark and the stars were gone
You were breathing there in the dawn
Now the silence sings where the Reapers roamed
And the universe feels like home
Keelah se'lai - through every unknown
I have a home... I have home
Rannoch mornings under open blue
No visor fog when I walk with you
Admirals laugh where the dreadnought stood
Peace tastes strange... but it tastes good
You built a house where the desert meets sky
Two stubborn species learning why
Science rewrote what the doctors said
Now a little heartbeat sleeps in our bed
Tiny hands with your fearless eyes
Quarian songs as a lullaby
A future none of the stars have known
Growing strong... in a home
You came back to me, you came back to me
Through the war, through eternity
Every scar is a map we survived
Every dawn says we're alive
Now the silence sings where the Reapers roamed
And the galaxy feels like home
Keelah se' lai - through every unknown
I have a home...
I have home
Normandy drifting in peaceful light
Your cabin window remembers that night
The song I sang when the war began
Now our child hums the same refrain again
No more goodbyes through a battlefield sky
No more praying you won't die
The war took years we can't reclaim
But love... survived the flame
You came back to me, you came back to me
Past the end of the galaxy
Where the rubble broke and the stars were torn
A new forever was born
Now the silence sings where the Reapers roamed
And the universe feels like home
Keelah se’lai - my heart has known
I have a home... I have home
After time among open stars
Our story lives where the quiet are
Commander... wherever we roam
With you beside me... I have home
