After school, you go
Home.
You feel safe when you are
Home.
After a long day, you go
Home.
When you’re tired, you want to go
Home.
When you are on the road, you want to go
Home.
When you’re at school, you want to go
Home.
When you are crying, you want to go
Home.
When you are hurting, you want to go
Home.
You are at peace when you are
Home.
