Sometimes the wind's so cold it feels like you've been frozen still Some days the traffic roars and works just like a sleeping pill On other nights the flashing lights feels like a fire drill This place is what I call my home Where dreams of gold may never see the early morning light Where cigarettes smoke causes tears in all the tired eyes Where every prince will find a prince or make a princess bright This place is what I call my home The morning sun breaks through the trees I feel her arms in the summer breeze Here, where I shine Here I get lost in time Here, there's no fighting There's no hiding from who I am Here, where I shine Here I get lost in time Here, there's no fighting There's no hiding from who I am Beyond, beyond the man-made walls that used to keep us in Below, below the winter grace that craves the summer skin But if only, but if only you could understand I left you so I could return You've changed your mind so many times just like you change your clothes A new perfume to hide the runes like they were broken homes If you knew then what I know now you would have held me close I left you so I could return The morning sun breaks through the trees I feel her arms in the summer breeze Here, where I shine Here I get lost in time Here, there's no fighting There's no hiding from who I am Here, where I shine Here I get lost in time Here, there's no fighting There's no hiding from who I am We are weak with flesh and bone Stand like towers, fall like stone The world so beautiful, so unknown But there's no place, no place like home Here, where I shine Here I get lost in time Here, there's no fighting There's no hiding from who I am Here, where I shine Here I get lost in time Here, there's no fighting There's no hiding from who I am
