Open my eyes to a whole new world
I go through these day with joy in my soul
Home is always home but it's good to get away
Miss my family and friends, but I'll be back someday
Peace and quiet is what brings the true me out
Constant of daily stress burdens the life in me
I've been so closed and hidden away
I can finally show who I am for all to see
Make me laugh, make me cry
So much of life I've locked inside
There's always love there with concern
I need to break free and capture all I've learned
Holding this close, I'm never letting it go
I knew I was still alive deep down in my soul
I've dreaded this for some time
But now it's almost time to go back home
Life is full of ups and downs
It's good to have friends that will always be there
Helping you when you are down and out
Lifting your spirits up off the ground
