I just wanna go home
But I don't know where *home
is
Is it that place where I have a bed?
Where I have my TV hooked up,
and I pay the rent?
Where the bills are in my name,
and my kids have their own room?
Where I walk outside and wave to my neighbors while I check the mail?
Cause that doesn't feel like home,
It's not the place that I wanna go,
It's not where I feel loved, it's not where I can be held when slowly drift off to sleep.
It's not the place I imagine in my dreams.
Home is not simply a place or bed to rest my weary head
It should be warmth, comfort and safety
A place filled with love for me and my family
That place where I have a bed to sleep and I call my nightmares dreams
It's just a house to keep my family living safely
It's not where I wanna go
*I wanna go home

You ripped my heart in shreds
For so many years
I'm hear to tell you
I'm crying no more tears
I see no more love
That it's all over now
How will I survive?
Forgetting you, that's how.
I'm done with the pettiness
And stupid lies
Such immaturity
You get no more tries

He's hurt me
Cut me open wide
Taken out my heart
And destroyed my pride
I want to forget
I want to start anew
But I'm not sure I can
I'm not sure what to do
It's like my life has ended
The past eight years
So much pain
Not worth my tears
But I'm gonna cry
I can't hold back
It hurts so much
To see all that I lack

I have my doubts
I'm really not sure
I'll figure it out
I'll find a cure
For my broken heart
Unwillingly shattered
Torn all apart
Bruised and battered
I'll pick up the pieces
And get up off the floor
I won't look back
While I walk out the door

The beauty I saw in your eyes,  
         Peering into your soul.
It's depths astounded me,
     your poetry amazed me,
Another half to broken pieces made whole.
Yet the pain I saw eluded me,
          it baffled me
   how you could be that sad...
I remember this dream I had,
Where you were in complete despair,
     crying in a corner,
             Tears blood red
I can't remember exactly what you said,
     but it crushed me.
           The next day,
while you were smiling and joking around,
I tried to glimpse deep in your eyes,
          what I found?
Stunned me to tears, after all these years,
          how could I not see?
I think you were about to ask me what was wrong,
            But you realized I discovered what you'd been hiding all along.
I didn't know what to say,
          or how to speak...
Then I saw a grin start to form in the dimple on your cheek.
         You'd fooled me, arrogantly tricked me,
You pulled up your sleeve and grabbed a knife,
              Started slicing away just to torture me,
          Slowly ending my life.

Hunkered down we pass the plonk
We can see Madame and pay
We shake her hand and thank her
San fairy ann she'll say

Sergeant copped a blighty
He'll be on his way
He's thanking god almighty
San fairy ann I say

It's hard enough to smile through this
When folks get blown up every day
But all the while the whizz-bangs miss
San fairy ann we say
1st World War slang

plonk = vin blanc
cop a blighty = wounded, sent home to UK
san fairy ann = ça ne fait rien, it doesn't matter
I met you
You brought me smiles
You gave me the best times
But you were never *mine
Not all the best things in life are for you only, maybe it will glance on you for a while. Cherish that time
I fell  
I knelt
I felt
His unfathomable grace
I will always fall but He will always be there to make me stand once again. Never give up, Be strong and don't give up, for your work will be rewarded

I am frozen
Fear...
holds me within her grasp
Doubts...
fill my heart
Am I worthy?
deserving of...
is it love
or acceptance
Frozen...
as fear whispers
to me
telling me
yes, telling me
you are not worth it.....
