The letters at home are the letters at school
The letters you're using, the letters are tools
The words that we know, the words that we say
Bring people together or send them away
Send them away, send them away
I could be insulted, I might try to hide
I may be exhausted, but it's home that I found
A petal of stone, more than one of us drowned
Coming out of the rain, bursting in, falling down
Falling down, falling down
And people are staring as I walk toward the bed
Three pictures, a child, and the little girl said
The times when you're beaten, when you're bruised and you're numb
Are the times that protect you for a lifetime to come
A lifetime to come, a lifetime to come, a lifetime to come
In every dream that I have, no matter how far away
What surrounds me is home, just like when I'm awake
When I'm awake, when I'm awake
