Everybody Wants Home
We flew you to a town of
Roses, parks, animal boats
You were happy, we were restless
We left that bright, sweet place
You didn't understand
It was too strange to say goodbye
To say goodbye
It's two years since we left that town
Our eyes sad with what we've learned
Somehow lonely, shrinking, pacing
Groping for an exit
Dreaming of flying away
I wonder if it is from me
You dream of flying
Oh, children
Everybody wants home
I don't know when
We will find our own
But I've seen and felt it inside
I've seen our faces alight
The search for home is a journey To what we love
Your face lit up when I agreed to
Walk with you at your old school grounds
Almost forgotten, painted play space
The food drop, the praying room
Tall trees whisper softly
They shelter children walking in
Walking in each day
You asked, can't we please go in and
Say hello to everyone
I just stammered, snapped a picture
Rushed you back to the car
It was all gone again
I wish I could have given you
What you truly came for
Oh, children
Everybody wants home
I don't know when
We will find our own
But I've seen and felt it inside
I've seen our faces alight
The search for home is a journey To what we love
Oh, children
Everybody wants home
This holy land holds us as its own
I saw and felt it inside
And here we are now
I won't give up
I'm hoping in the Almighty
Found my smile
Roses, parks, animal boats
You were happy, we were restless
We left that bright, sweet place
You didn't understand
It was too strange to say goodbye
To say goodbye
It's two years since we left that town
Our eyes sad with what we've learned
Somehow lonely, shrinking, pacing
Groping for an exit
Dreaming of flying away
I wonder if it is from me
You dream of flying
Oh, children
Everybody wants home
I don't know when
We will find our own
But I've seen and felt it inside
I've seen our faces alight
The search for home is a journey To what we love
Your face lit up when I agreed to
Walk with you at your old school grounds
Almost forgotten, painted play space
The food drop, the praying room
Tall trees whisper softly
They shelter children walking in
Walking in each day
You asked, can't we please go in and
Say hello to everyone
I just stammered, snapped a picture
Rushed you back to the car
It was all gone again
I wish I could have given you
What you truly came for
Oh, children
Everybody wants home
I don't know when
We will find our own
But I've seen and felt it inside
I've seen our faces alight
The search for home is a journey To what we love
Oh, children
Everybody wants home
This holy land holds us as its own
I saw and felt it inside
And here we are now
I won't give up
I'm hoping in the Almighty
Found my smile
