Have you ever been so far from home
that your heart ached deep inside?
No matter which way you turned or looked you felt like you had died.

The longing to return home took over your thoughts. 
You felt like every fiber of your body was tired in knots. 

There was only one remedy that you could see. 
 Heading home to fill the emptiness in me.

Our souls inside, feel the same longing to return home. 
It confuses us for we know not from where they come. 

Once we find where the longing soul calls home.
We have peace within, never more to roam.
