'Take me home'
Where I won’t have to face
Pain, sorrow, anger;
Where I won’t need to taste
The tinge of depression, disappointment;
Where they won’t make me hold
Burdens that make my shoulders weak;
Take me home-
Where I can be free.
My soul is writhing-
Writhing to be let loose;
These trappings of woe hold me down-
Like the hanged man’s noose.
How I long to break free
From the hypnotic loop of temptation,
And go back home,
Where there is no want for destruction;
The abode with no hypocrites
Who throw knives at my back;
The place with no liars
Who turn red hearts black.
Take me home,
Where my soul will have no skin
To hold it in.
Take me home,
Where a smile can flourish
With no fear of being deleted
By tears.
Take me home,
Take me home,
Where solitude and peace
Eternal, can never be wrecked;
Remove these cuffs of worldliness
From my ankles and feet and neck;
God, take me home
To you again.
