Make It Home

Anyone? Can you be a helping hand? I don't need food. I need someone to understand. Is there anyone out there, can one voice really be heard? Stop using your eyes- cuz I'm not this girl. This isn't me. Yes, I am really lonely- my heart does bleed to have a real hommie. My soul's in desperate need to have a sense of belonging. My strength is a lie, I just don't wanna die though I wish I could fly. Would I be able to make it on my feet alone? God, please help me to make it home. To my baby in prison, if you can hear me...please listen, cuz you're the reason I'm lost. Help me find myself again. Baby, you loved me- you're the only one who did. Nobody needs me now so I have no strength to live. You saved me before I got to the end. Back where you found me, can you save me again? Baby please hurry, you're my only true friend. To my dear sweet Mother, I'm sorry to suffer, I know what you told me, now I know it was true. I'm livin so boldly as I'm wearin so cold and so blue. I'm ready to come home now- tired of missing you. I pray the Lord will hold me now for you. I'm so sorry Momma But I failed myself too! And still my soul's in desperate need to have a sense of belonging. My strength is a lie, I just don't wanna die Though I wish I could fly. Would I be able to make it on my feet alone? God, please help me to make it home.
