[Verse 1] When I was a child at the age of three Went to the market with grandmame She bought me juice to cool me down We watched the kids they played around But all too soon I had to move Political life overruled Me and my family had to go [Chorus] Away from home The memory's gone Drifting on a sea afloat Searching for a way to go Home again Home is still within Look inside for chance to start Home is love deep in my heart [Verse 2] When I was five, we moved to France A fleeting hope, a second chance But shadows grew and pockets thinned We were scattered by a restless wind No place to rest, no roots to grow Just another town we had to know Me and my family had to go... [Chorus] Away from home The memory's gone Drifting on a sea afloat Searching for a way to go Home again Home is still within Look inside for chance to start Home is love deep in my heart [Short instrumental] [Verse 3 ] Suitcases by the break of dawn Tears in lines we stood upon Different streets, a different sky Learning how to say goodbye New schools and faces passing through Every name and place brand new Still I’d close my eyes and see Her smiling back at me [Chorus - Liftup] Away from home The memory's gone Drifting on a sea afloat Searching for a way to go Home again Home is still within Look inside for chance to start Home is love deep in my heart [ad-lib hmm vocals harmonic]
