There is no place like home
Going back to a happy family where I am from
Parents whom I missed very much
Little kids running around messing the couch
Home is where you find love that cannot be bought
A place the sun never gets old
Happiness resides in every heart
Everyday is like an holiday right from birth
I once thought when I go far away
I will be happy in a million way
Oh, how much I missed playing in the sand
All dirty and groomed, ready to be smacked
Catching rainbows in a bucket or a bow
Playing hide and seek in the bedroom wardrobe
I had a good memory living outside the city
My parents where always fond of me
In the city, I hoped to find friendship on street
But found out while I was asleep
Someone took the lights out
There's been no sign of the moon about a week
In the city, I knew something was missing in me
From Lagos to Asaba, Abuja up to Maiduguri
I could run away as far as I want to go
But it cannot be like home sweet home

Despair reside in my heart
For many tears I have cried
Sadness sharing a sit tonight
Where happiness left me by
Oh darling, I need your smile
Everyday of my life
Please do not let me die
I want you by my side
I have been waiting yesterday
Cannot get the feeling out of my mind
Every time I see a light
A sound coming from a distance
I run anxiously on the track
I long for your arms to lie
But was told I had to wait until midnight
That is when the your train will arrive
Maybe this is all a bad idea
What if I do not find you tonight?
My fragile heart cannot stand a heartbreak
It would drive me out my mind

Everything I touch fades away
A dark cloud covering my dream
The world I cannot find no more
Where are the stars?
Where are the things
Which makes we smile?
The wall is very high, I cannot climb
I keep falling every time I try
It is a miracle I survived
But I cannot tell for how very long
I wish someone had told me earlier
That the world is full of falling stars
Dreams do not always come alive
Maybe facing the storm
Would make life a whole lot easier
I would not journeyed a miserable life
