Home is where Mama lives!

 
Away from home
With thoughts at home

Away from home
With this yearn for home
Come home she said, come home!
Home is where mama lives
 
She lives there who greets with a smile
Old she is who needs my stronger hold
Gave for nothing in return
Her need for your want
There she looked at you 
Like one from a faraway journey
And lips blessed deeds
Come home she said, Come home!
 
It was heard through the window 
Her voice from another continent
In winter night an angry wind 
Pierces through an icy hand
Unheard cries, borrowed friends, 
On your own and far away from home.
Come home she said, come home!
She never knew he came 
The moment she bid him come
 
Yesterday he was at home
Because he met her first hug
She is calling him home, calling him
But she doesn’t know he is not home
She is calling me home, calling me
Louder than before the cry that was heard 
In the mind in an enclosed door  
Where letters and calls him carried 
But not to lie at her side
 
Yesterday he was at home
You treated him like one of your own
He longed for home away from home
Come home she said, come home
Home is where mama lives…
She is at home: you are home.
