HOME

The last thing I told you the last time I saw you

It was mean it was cruel

I forgot all the beautiful things about you

I just magnified the little weaknesses that made you human

I took for granted all your sacrifices for me

And belittled you in a moment of fury

I never meant them anyway

Even though at that very moment I probably did

But you are the best mama in the whole wide world

And I want to come home

Many days I sat in loneliness

Thinking of what was and what could have been

But my pride would never let me, I let you walk away

When I was out of my luck, and needed you strength

You held my hand and together we weathered the storm

You were more than a friend to me

A firm rock amidst sinking sand

And I can do this no more

And so today am putting everything down

And I am coming home

For long now my soul has been wondering

For anything that will make me feel complete

Deep down I always knew what it was

But the rebellion of youth and the seductive allure

Of shinny lights and moments of reckless abandon

 Made me turn away to sample the delights

But you kept calling relentlessly from the cross

With scarred hands and a pricking crown

Even with your eyes full of pain and blood trickling down your face

You still called out to me and forgot about your pain

And so to today, all I want

All I want is to come back home
