I'Ll Be Back
Whenever I go to a different place, somewhere far from here
I know that I will always return to the place that I do not fear
I’ve lived in Sheffield since I was born; I know where my heart lies
I may go away, but not for long, because here I have family ties
Travel may broaden my mind and lessons I can learn
But I long for home if I stay away and can’t wait to return
I travel abroad and locally too, but my roots are firmly set
Sheffielder’s are fabulous people, the best I’ve ever met
I am glad that I live in the area I do, the town and countryside
The greenery is so wonderful, as I stare at it with pride
I drive around and notice things, especially when I’m alone
One thing I am certain of, there is ‘no place like home’
