Cat Stevens

Home on a kite we fly,

Home on a breeze we blow

Eyeing the folks below and

Watching everybody run,

Each one heading for a different place

Watching everybody hide,

Each behind a different face

Home where the days are long

Back where the people are free,

Home where all sides agree and,

Everybody has a friend, oh

And no one ever has to grab

Everybody shares the love,

Giving everything they have.

Forever forever your lamp will burn

Forever home forever would that you'd learn

That you came with nothing

So with nothing you'll return

Home

You know you're not alone

It's only 'cause you're not a home

That you feel so out of place.

Forever forever your lamp will burn

Forever home forever would that you'd learn

That you came with nothing

So with nothing you'll return

Home where all the mums can sing,

Back where the children don't cry,

Home where you never ask why and

Everybody has enough, and y'don't have to put on clothes

Nobody has to hide 'case everyone already knows.
