Tired

I want to go home

My feet are weary

Mama, I’ve traveled so far

And the ground’s too rocky now

It’s become too unsure

I wanted to feel the soil

Under my little toes

But I didn’t know

Just how far the path goes

I want to go home

My eyes are starting to blur

Mama, I’ve traveled so far

But night has fallen now

And I seem to have lost my way

I wanted to see the blues

And count all of the stars

But I didn’t know

Just how many there are

I want to go home

My ears are starting to ring

Mama, I’ve traveled so far

But the music is silent now

And I don’t know what to say

I wanted to hear freedom

The birds calling through the trees

But I didn’t know

Just how harsh the noise could be

I want to go home

My heart is heavy now

Mama, I’ve traveled so far

But I’ve lost all my friends

They seem to have gone away

I wanted to be loved

And be happy for all my days

But I didn’t want to know

What it’s like when the colors fade
