Take me home
Life has taken everything from you
It seems like there is nothing left to take
Your body feels broken and your spirit down and beaten
The darkness is always there, a shadow hanging over you like an eternal night
The tears fall until your body shakes without control
Your hands held out in need, asking for whatever the kindness of strangers will provide
Take me home, the words cried out in pain
Take me home, the terror and need in your voice
Take me home, let me know someone cares
Another day ends and one begins, climbing from where you sleep
The sidewalk for a bed and trash bag for a pillow
Another day of begging to fulfil your basic needs
Unable to meet the gaze of those you beg for help
Want your pride to be gone, but deep down you know there should be more.
Life is supposed to be precious and you reach as you reach out
Take me home, the words cried out in pain
Take me home, the terror and need in your voice
Take me home, let me know someone cares
Is there hope in the future, does anything ever gets better?
Every day on these streets you see the new ones come
Eyes full of hope and having run to find a better future
Take me home, the words cried out in pain
Take me home, the terror and need in your voice
Take me home, let me know someone cares
They say you can never go home, it is a place lost in your past
But that is not true; a Home is a place where all should be welcome
A home is a place in the heart and you are so close to finding it again
Do not stop reaching out, because some care
Those that want to show you love, those that care
You are not alone in this; just hold on tight and in time it will get better
Take me home, the words cried out in pain
Take me home, the terror and need in your voice
Take me home, let me know someone cares
It seems like there is nothing left to take
Your body feels broken and your spirit down and beaten
The darkness is always there, a shadow hanging over you like an eternal night
