Looking at the house they live in, I can't believe I lived there
Since I left the dreams don't end, I remember when I could sleep there
Sad am I, I wonder why?
Should I try to go inside?
I feel shy, across the street I hide
That window over there is where my mother and father slept
Each one with one eye open, hoping for better days to come
Looking at the house they live in, I can't believe I lived there
Since I left the dreams don't end, sometimes I wish I lived there
He came outside, I saw his pride
Should I try to go inside?
I feel shy, so across the street I hide
Behind the wall, my family once had our own secret place
I lived in fear each day that tomorrow would be the end of this place
Looking at the house they live in, I can't believe I lived there
Since I left the dreams don't end, sometimes I wish my family was there
My mother's smile, my father's fragile
Should I try to go inside?
And I feel shy, so across the street I hide
One day soon I hope I'll find a home in my heart
To stop the dreams I have, just want to live within my past
Looking at the house they live in, I can't believe I lived there
Since I left the dreams don't end, but now I know I'm not there
Sad am I, I wonder why?
Should I try to go inside?
Well, I feel shy, so across the street I hide
