HOME AGAIN


we venture out of our birthplace,
when we feel we hit the dead end
we wave goodbye to our loved ones,
and try to forget some we loved


away from home we celebrate all that's new,
but the surprise is the shock and hurt in the new
deep in tears we hear a voice from our past
notes of nostalgia come flooding into our souls


soon, the sweet candies of the new
begin to fade and we wish to go back home
back home we come to know the past is dead,
we have been away for far too long
