Two Homes Two Lives
Quietly I settle back
Empty nested and relaxed
A life of duty in review
60 years, how fast they flew
The kids they come to talk and dine
No major strife, life's good, we're fine
The simple pleasures that I seek
No sweeter sound than my babies' shriek
This is where I've been for the last 40 years
But where was I the 20 before
Do I call this my home
A missing piece must be found
I don't feel whole
Recently my country called
Ailing parents, old and frail
Siblings rally, this can't wait
How blessed am I, I'm one of 8
We reflect on our lives
We get to cheer all our highs
And feel each other's pain
Mom's wise words come to the fore
That when you love someone
The joy and pain are yours
Do I wish I didn't have to leave
My land, my youth, the way I speak
And those missing 20 years I seek
They're in my soul, now I believe
Ironic that the joy you feel
So bittersweet a way to heal
Though that's the case I'll take this life
Two homes, two lives, my joy is twice

Two Homes Two Lives
Quietly I settle back
Empty nested and relaxed
A life of duty in review
60 years, how fast they flew
The kids they come to talk and dine
No major strife, life's good, we're fine
The simple pleasures that I seek
No sweeter sound than my babies' shriek
This is where I've been for the last 40 years
But where was I the 20 before
Do I call this my home
A missing piece must be found
I don't feel whole
Recently my country called
Ailing parents, old and frail
Siblings rally, this can't wait
How blessed am I, I'm one of 8
We reflect on our lives
We get to cheer all our highs
And feel each other's pain
Mom's wise words come to the fore
That when you love someone
The joy and pain are yours
Do I wish I didn't have to leave
My land, my youth, the way I speak
And those missing 20 years I seek
They're in my soul, now I believe
Ironic that the joy you feel
So bittersweet a way to heal
Though that's the case I'll take this life
Two homes, two lives, my joy is twice
Quietly I settle back
Empty nested and relaxed
A life of duty in review
60 years, how fast they flew

No major strife, life's good, we're fine
The simple pleasures that I seek
No sweeter sound than my babies' shriek

But where was I the 20 before
Do I call this my home
A missing piece must be found

So bittersweet a way to heal
Though that's the case I'll take this life
Two homes, two lives, my joy is twice
