A Home Too Far
Here again, we are hopefully looking for a route
Leading to a place believed to be our root
A place where we were free before taken to be slaves
All we hope was to be free from their oppressive sleeves
Searching the earth to find our home, was the only hope
We knew, though we were at the verge of discovering our home
But the clues were very hard and dark to see us through
Lighting candles in the forest to see a real path to the home
That we cherish , was the only skill we have to get us through
The woods, yet still it was way too hard and dark to get us home
Letting go, was not an answer, but reaching our goal was better
And it was the only the only thing that matters
