Homecoming

I'm a stranger in a strange place
Puddles of water and mud reflects my face
Trying to keep pace with my tranquil trace
Puddles of fire and water splash upon my face

Far away, I roam
Soon enough, I'll be home
Home sweet home
Far away, I seek refuge
Soon enough, my bravery will be huge

Far away...I roam home...
I roam home...I'm your garden gnome
I'm your stranger, roaming in a strange place
I'm a stranger, left with barely a trace of grace
I heard it through the grape vine
I wish you'd truly be mine
This homecoming
This homecoming

I'm a stranger in a strange place
I'm reaching out for vast grace
I'm a stranger in a strange place
Mirror, mirror reflects my saddened face

I'm a stranger in a strange place
Puddles of water and mud splattered on my grimy face
Trying to run this race, trying to keep pace
Puddles of ice and water pour upon my saturated face

Far away...I roam home...
I roam home...I'm your garden gnome
I'm your stranger, roaming in a strange place
I'm a stranger, left with barely a trace of grace
I heard it through the grape vine
I wish you'd truly be mine
This homecoming
This homecoming

I'm a stranger in a strange location 
I'm a pilgrim, taking a nice vacation
Trying to regain my strength and happiness
Puddles of raindrops reign upon my distress

I'm a stranger
Not seeking danger...
I'm a stranger
Living in a mist of blur~
A blur that is so unreal and very impure...extremely hard to endure!!

Far away...I roam home...
I roam home...I'm your garden gnome
I'm your stranger, roaming in a strange place
I'm a stranger, left with barely a trace of grace
I heard it through the grape vine
I wish you'd truly be mine
This homecoming
This homecoming

Feeling oh so unsure 
Dealing with my insecurities
Trying to find a simple cure
Before I relive my horrifying fantasies and tragedies - an aftermath I don't want to count on, so I can live life at blissful ease...

I wish time would pass me by
Sometimes, I have this feeling I wanna cry
I'm a stranger in a strange place
I'm feeling insecure and lonesome...sorta out of place, but this homecoming, I will prove that I will win this race!
