Back home Lyrics

I went away

I flew as far as I could go and tried to find

What makes the world go round

I saw a lot and sure enough, it isn't love

It's such a shame

The kind of pain men inflict onto other men

There was a place

Where kids were lying on the ground covered in flies

It made me feel so bad

You help a few but there's so little you can do

You look away

Things stay the same, they never change, I'm coming home

Tell my Dad I'm back for good

Tell Mom I won't be long

Call my friends and the neighbors too

They were always so kind

And don't forget the girl who said she would be waiting for me

Feels so good to be back home

Back home

After a while

The sight of shrouded women being dragged in a cart

Won't even blow your mind

This is a land that strangers cannot understand

You look away

I want to shout, I'm tuning out, I'm coming home

Tell my Dad I'm back for good

Tell Mom I won't be long

Call my friends and the neighbors too

They were always so kind

And don't forget the girl who said she would be waiting for me

Feels so good to be back home

Back home
