Home 
The sun beams hot, brightness to the blue sky
It reflects off mirrored glass; held by steel shaped by tall men
The sun reflects off concrete sidewalks,
It blinds me

I got too much light in my eyes
The piercing sound of sirens, shifting waves go by
I can't hear
I got too much sound in my ears

Where is home?
I'm a man, but like a lost boy I can't see my way
Like a lost boy, I can't hear my mother's voice

The sun blinds my eyes
The sound of sirens, shifting waves go by
I wonder whose mother is crying
I wonder whose boy is dying

Pick up the sick
Pick up the wounded
Take them home?
Take them to a steel tower to die
Too much light in their eyes

The passing of years
I am blind
I am deaf
I try to grab my mother's hand
Take me home,
but I suffocate in the urban air
I imagine life expanding my lungs
I breath like a lasting stream
The shade of tall trees cooling me
I see my vision mother in Angel wings
She says you are somewhere
Home is the place you want to be

When night falls I go home,
I draw a bath and imagine that is where I am
