I Just Wanna Go Home

When she was born, her parents used to say

What a sweet child, she’ll become great one day

But as the years went by, her innocence faded away

There was confusion, so much pain, that got in the way

They were angry, she was sad

She tried to find the good, they told her she was bad

It turned into a fight between a girl and the world

Yet, somewhere deep inside her, a voice could be heard

Saying

I, I just wanna go back home

I lost my way, I thought I knew where I was going

But I, I realize that I, I just wanna go back home

back to the beginning, back to where I’m running from,

I need direction, send me a sign, show me the way back home

When she was born, her Creator did say

What a sweet nation, they’ll become great one day

But as the years went by, our innocence faded away

There were differences, so much foolishness that got in the way

Generations, so many legacies

They fought their enemies, so we can be

But  then it turned into a fight between Jewish brothers

Yet, somewhere deep inside, amongst the hatred and the pride

A nation’s voice could be heard

Saying

I, I just wanna go back home

I lost my way, I thought I knew where I was going

But I, I realize that I, I just wanna go back home

I know it looks like I want to be here, but it’s just cuz I make it seem that way

Nobody wants to be so far from home, no one ever wants to be so alone,

We’re coming back coming home, tell the world we’re coming home

Trying to follow the stepping stones to guide us home
