A child walks to the riverAnd looks as far as she can seeAnd draws each breath as if it were the lastAnd wipes away the tears across her sleaveShe can see where the river crawls into the seaLike a baby into mother's careSomehow the longing is so far awayThe innocence so wasted and awareLook at the child with the dream in her eyesHolding it deep inside herHome... Home...So much anger, so deeply ingrainedSeamed a burden that was hers aloneShe didn't think that there was anything wrongWith wanting a life that she could call her ownHow could I explain?You would not want to hearYou wouldn't listen if I talked anywayFor you were too weighed down by your own fearsLook at the child with the dream in her eyesHolding it deep inside...Home... Home... Home... Home...
