lyrics

When I first left my home
I snuck out in the night
Cause no one could stop me
If they didn't know

I packed up my bags
With all my prized possessions
I thought that I might need
And climbed out my window

But, there was some place else
That I
Had to be
And, I didn't know where
But, for myself I
Had to see

There was so much that I didn't know
So much that I didn't know
There was so much that I didn't know
But Home
Wasn't Home for me

The first place that I came to was a church
Pretty little white building on a hill
And the people there were so nice
They invited me right in
And, they were all smiling, full of joy
Dancing, clapping their hands
And singing all their song
Of salvation for their sins

Chorus
But, Church
Wasn't Home for me

The next place that I came to was a school
People there were busy as can be
Packing up their bags
With things that they might need
And they're making their big plans
To leave their Home
For the first time
And, I hope that they succeed

Chorus
But, School
Wasn't Home for me

I was in a whirlwind
And I was lost
Didn't have a friend
No place to go
I was tired
I was alone
There was so much
I didn't know
I was a man
Without a Home
