Little boy, 6 years old 
                     F 
A little too used to bein' alone 
C 
Another new mom and dad, another school 
                      F 
Another house that'll never be home  
Am 
When people ask him 
G                   F 
how he likes this place 
         Am               G                      F 
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face

This is my temporary home

It's not where I belong 
             Am        G              F 
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through 
                C                             G 
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going

I'm not afraid because I know 
         G

C 
Young mom on her own 
                              F

        C 
She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out 
                              F 
Because a half-way house will never be a home  
   Am 
At night she whispers 
G             F 
to her baby girl: 
    Am 
Someday we'll find a

place here in this world

Windows and rooms that we're passin' through

And he whispers don't cry for me 
     G              F 
I'll see you all someday 
         Am           G               F
