"I'm A Long Way From Home" lyrics

I'm A Long Way From Home

I'm a long way from home
And so all alone
Someone, please watch over me

Can't get accustomed to the hunger
No one seems to notice that I'm cold
This kind of life ain't making me much younger
How I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told

I'm a long way from home
And so all alone
Someone, please watch over me

For the first time last night
I slept in a public mission
And you just can't imagine how I felt
Cause things that happened
Seemed like fiction
You know someone even tried to steal my shoes
While I slept

I'm a long way from home
And so all alone
And I'm afraid
Like I'd thought I'd never be
I'm a long way from home
Everything is wrong
Someone, please watch over me
