Home
I used to think all I need is a minute
So I could think about life instead of live it
All I need is some money to get by
Maybe a car to drive and a house to reside
I need parents who care instead of scream
Making the house of holes seem like a dream
What I need is something to drink and eat
To wash away all the scars from head to feet
But as I stand here, feet planted in wet sand
I no longer think about my plans or other lands
As I was dreaming of another place to be
I realized all the time, I just wanted to be me
So even if I'm stuck on this deserted land
And if I only have one final demand
It's that I lived a life fully, in a house full of bullies
That I've made it this far, and that I've raised the bar
I didn't need to waste time, didn't need a life that's mine
On my knees, now all I need
is a home
