I Remember

I'll be better when I get home
If there's a home to share

Will you be waiting when I get home
Or at least be somewhere near?

Home is not where I remember it
This doesn't look like it at all
This is not where I grew up
Who changed it all around?

I'll be better when I get home
If there's a home to share

I remember a fire
I remember a road
I remember woods we used to play
On an open mountainside

I'll be better when I get home
If there's a home still there

Some things have changed, some look the same
Some things are radically different
Or maybe I just never noticed the people
Treating other people like that

I'll be better when I get home
If there's a home still there

Will you be waiting when I get home
Or at least be somewhere to share?
