Paul McCartney - (I Want to) Come Home

Paul McCartney - (I Want to Come Home)

For so long, I was out in the cold

And I taught myself to believe every story I told
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun
but it's been too long,
Now I want to come home

Came so close, to the edge of defeat
But I made my way in the shade, keeping out of the heat
It was fun shooting out at the stars, looking into the sun
But it's been to long,
Now i want to come home

Home, where there's nothing but, sweet surrender
To the memories from afar
Home, to the place where the truth lies waiting
We remember who we are

For too long, I was out on my own
Every day I spent trying to prove I could make it alone
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun
But it's been too long,
Now I want to come home

For so long, I was out in the cold
But I taught myself to believe every story I've told
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun
But its been too long,
Now I want to come home

Yeah it's been too long,
Now I want to come home

Been too long . . .
Now I want to come home

(McCartney)

The Spinners - Ghetto Child

The Spinners - Ghetto Child

When I was 17
I ran away from home
And from everything
I had ever known
I was sick and tired
Living in a town
Filled with narrow minds
And hate

They used to laugh at me
And children called me names
I would run and hide
Feeling so ashamed
Just for being born
I was just a boy
Punished for a crime
That was not mine

Life ain't so easy
When you’re a ghetto child
Life ain't so easy
When you’re a ghetto child

No one tried to understand
Papa did the best a man
Could do

A child's reality
Is paid for by his folks
Fancy fairy tales
Are bought and sold by those
Who can well afford
Time to make believe
Childhood dreams
Can still come true

So I've been wandering
Traveling all around
Guess it ain’t my style
To live in just one town
Still I'll never know
Why a child is blamed
Ridiculed and shamed
We're all the same

Life ain't so easy
When you’re a ghetto child
Life ain't so easy
When you’re a ghetto child

Life ain't so easy
When you’re a ghetto child
Life ain't so easy
When you’re a ghetto child
