Abandoned books, drooping plants
The curtains are kept drawn to keep it dark
Huddled in a corner, the family sits
Trembling in terror, waiting for life to call it quits
The gun is fired, a warning of strife
The children grab their favourite toys and then they run for their life
Oh, a journey of despair
Fighting through the wild, desperate to find a safe somewhere
Oh no, no, no, the cracks and the crumbles of this roam
The only thing they're looking for is a sweet, home sweet home, home sweet home
Hope to find their home sweet home
Capsizing boats, an inch far we've come
The icy, choppy waves tempted to eat us up
Frostbite on our bones, teeth chattering in the wind
A baby crying for their ma, but she died in human sin
Oh, a journey of despair
Fighting through the wild, desperate to find a safe somewhere
Oh no, no, no, the cracks and the crumbles of this roam
The only thing they're looking for is a sweet, home sweet home, home sweet home, woah
Let 'em go
Wild and free spirits, tryin' to find a ray of sunshine
Full of oh, hope
Hope to find their home sweet home
And when I say 'home'
I mean a place of belonging
Where they won't get kicked out, or forced to start running
Cos boy they've done some running
Just a place that is safe
Where they can be at peace
At the end of their chase
Where they can release
Please let them release, oh
Oh, a journey of despair
Fighting through the wild, desperate to find a safe somewhere
Oh no, no, no, the cracks and the crumbles of this roam
The only thing they're looking for is a sweet, home sweet home, home sweet home, woah
Let 'em go
Wild and free spirits tryin' to find a ray of sunshine
Full of oh, hope
Hope to find their home sweet home
Home
Home sweet home, home sweet home
Home
Home
Home sweet home, home sweet home
Hope to find their home sweet home
