Mm
Young mom on her own
She needs a little help, got nowhere to go
She’s lookin’ for a job, lookin’ for a way out
Because a half-way house will never be a home
At night she whispers to her baby girl
Someday we’ll find a place here in this world
“This is our temporary home
It’s not where we belong
Windows and rooms that we’re passin’ through
This is just a stop,
on the way to where we’re going
I’m not afraid because I know
this is our Temporary Home”
