Leaving in the morning, without a word to say
From my house into the world, in the light of day
I might seem courageous, but once the sun goes down
You'll find that I'm the biggest crybaby around...
Skies above the city, painted a lovely red
Crows and pigeons call as they soar over my head
I can see my shadow growing against the trees
Right now more than anything, I just wanna leave
Are you grilling fish? Somehow I can tell...
Is that for dinner? What a lovely smell...
Hear my tummy rumble... It's crying out for food
I should just apologize. I know I was rude...
Why am I so stubborn? Why do I cry and moan?
Aah, there's one thing I want right now:
I wanna go home!
On the other side of the road, I see a child
Parents nowhere to be found, sobbing, running wild
I just keep on walking. Familiar, she seemed...
Crying, far away from home... oh wait thats me
And as my shadow fades into the dark
I hear a voice calling deep within my heart
So I start to run and I wipe my tears dry
Chasing after Mr. Moon, waving me goodbye
If I say I'm sorry before they go to bed
Aah, when I get home, there might still
Be some dinner left!
Fish being grilled, scents linger in the air
A homecooked meal! Ahh, I wanna be there!
I can feel my tummy, it's crying out for food
I've gotta apologize! I know I was rude...
Done with being stubborn, I run back down the road!
Aah, to the place where I belong!
I wanna go home!
