This Is Home

You wake up and the sky is grey

You’re asking why life gave you so much pain

But at least there’s no chance of rain, today

Everything goes wrong except

The people here you love that haven’t left

Got to remember there’s always a chance

Walking through the streets downtown

Taking in the sights and the sounds

Can’t believe how long you’ve been here now

Looking at the foundation

Seeing all of what we’ve created

I know that you wouldn’t trade it

For anything else

Because this is home

It’s what we’ve known

And you know you’re not alone

We’re living here

The here and now

And we’re all doing our part

Because this is home

This is home

This piece follows the life of someone living in a small town. Even though their life can be stressful they embrace change and familiarity and learn to appreciate their surroundings.
