"Home."
I've heard the word before,
but it never meant much more
than just a thing I've never had.

"place,"
They say, "Hey, know your place!"
But I've never had a place to even know,
or a face that I could go to
if I needed someone there...

I'm laughing
it's hard to hide a smile
My god, it's been a while
since I have had a reason to.

To think
it's been here all along
somewhere to belong,
and a reason,
a something-to-believe-in

I've finally found it,
a place where I'm wanted...
This must be how it feels to have a home

I used to dream about it
but never schemed or counted
on fantasies or wishes-
it breaks a man to see what he misses

So many nights I'd pray
for a better life, a better day
but I never thought that [bad word] [bad word] now that it's here, I don't know what to do
and I'm trying not to cry

This must be how it feels
to have a home

I've finally made it
I've hoped and I've waited
and for the first time in my life, I don't feel so alone

My heart starts to heal
to know that it's real.
This is how it must feel
to have a home!
