Going home

I've sat and held my child
While he was playing deaf and blind
He did not want to hear, did not want to see
How different this world could be
For all the years that have gone by
I've kept back fears and the tears I wouldn't cry
The hardest choice was never mine
The choice was his just to live or die

Are you alive, or are you living just to live another day?
Did you cry or did you just lie down to die
Are you hungry and grown cold?
Are you alone, have you ever thought of going home

I watched you twist and turn away
To lies that fills you with dismay
And I have learned, learned to be strong
When you turn and walk away
Just to hope for one more day

I sense a bitter taste in your mouth
The lies and deceit fills you with contempt and doubt
It's not too late for you to turn around
We're standing here with our feet on solid ground

Are you alive, or are you living just to live another day?
Did you cry or did you just lie down to die
Are you hungry and grown cold?
Are you alone, have you ever thought of going home

Are you alive, or are you living just to live another day?
Did you cry or did you just lie down to die
Are you hungry and grown cold?
Are you alone, have you ever thought of going
Have you ever thought of going
Have you ever thought of going home?
