Home
Your home is such a nice place
With mother and father
Sister and brother too
How nice home must be
Yet now you’re away from home
Far from the ones you love
Sadness swells in your eyes
When they are not near
Home is the place
We all want to be
Living with our family
Such a nice place to be
Here we are, miles away
With our friends we live
Surviving alike, wishing for home
Never quite realizing that
Home is where we are
Home is with friends
Who care for you
Though it’s not the same
For now it will do
Friends are what give you
Your home away from home
With good friends around
And memories of mom and dad
You are never far from home.
