little boy six years old
a little too used to being alone
another new mom and dad
another school another house that will never be home
when people ask him how he likes this place
he looks up and says with a smile upon his face
this is my temporary home it’s not where i belong
windows and rooms that i’m passing through
this is just a stop on the way to where i’m going
i’m not afraid because i know
this is my temporary home
young mom on her own
she needs a little help got nowhere to go
she’s looking for a job looking for a way out
’cause a halfway house will never be a home
at night she whispers to her baby girl
someday we’ll find our place here in this world
this is our temporary home it’s not where we belong
windows and rooms that we’re passing through
this is just a stop on the way to where we’re going
i’m not afraid because i know
this is our temporary home
old man hospital bed
the room is filled with people he loves
and he whispers don’t cry for me i’ll see you all someday
he looks up and says i can see god’s face
this is my temporary home it’s not where i belong
windows and rooms that i’m passing through
this was just a stop on the way to where i’m going
i’m not afraid because i know
this was my temporary home
this is our temporary home
