My one true home is far away
I escaped that place as I cried,
“Home’s not always where you stay”…
•
I dream of where I used to play,
And no matter how much I reach and climb
My one true home is far away…
•
I watched as it crumbled, I saw the decay
And learned during a sad night of crime,
Home’s not always where you stay
•
I carry the words my family used to say,
But I knew in the moment that I saw them die
My one true home is far away
•
I had no control of the shape of my day
It wasn’t my time, but I didn’t decide
Home’s not always where you stay
•
Life has changed, but I’m lost on what way
I only learned two things soon after I survived:
My one true home is far away.
Home’s not always where you stay.
