A Home Lost
Naked newborn
Crying in pain
Nothing's the same
I don't know where I am
All I know is the sting
The sting of air
Of the doctors white glove
Umbilical cord cut
The connection is gone
My connection to love
Connection to a home
My old life's gone
Just gone
It's time to fly
But I can't even walk
I can't even crawl
I can't even talk
I feel so weak
How will I survive?
I'm scared, alone
No connection to home
I cry and cry
Knowing I'll die
Cause I don't know how
How to survive
I'm a newborn
I'm a flightless bird
I cry so much
My vision's a blur
But no one sees
These waves of pain
Swelling inside me
Because I've lost my love
I've lost my home
Out of the womb
Now an open wound
Old life dead
New one begun
But it burns my heart, like snow
In the morning sun
I'm alone
Lost
And scared
The person I called home
Is no longer there
I yell and cry
And sob and scream
Begging
For that sense of security
For that loving touch
For the familiarity
Of a home
A home lost
