Where is Home?
Every morning I open my curtains
 To the familiar light of the sun
 Shining brightly through my window
 Australia opening up its arms to me
 Welcoming me to the new day
 Oblivious to what would happen 
 When I awoke the next day
 
 And that last morning I wake up
 In my comfortable surroundings
 I’m suddenly forced onto a plane 
 And pushed into a new existence
 In a new place, in a new bed
 In a whole new world
 That’s completely foreign to me
 
 As I soar high overhead
 Above my old house, my old bed
 As I watch the life I once knew
 Slip slowly out of grasp
 As I enter the new territories of America
 And as the clouds float by I realize
 That I’m gone and I’m never coming back
 
 But when I wake up in the morning
 In my new bed, my new home
 I feel as though I don’t belong
 As if I’m living somebody else’s life
 I know I can’t turn back, but I long for my old bed
 My old window, my old home, my old life
 All I can do is hope to fall back to sleep
 And learn to become the person that sleeps in this bed
