Temporary Home Lyrics - J Rice

1 Little boy, six years old

2 A little too used to being alone

3 Another new mom and dad

4 Another school, another house that will never be home

5 When people ask him how he likes this place

6 He looks up and says with a smile upon his face

7 This is my temporary home, it's not where I belong

8 Windows and rooms that I'm passing through

9 This is just a stop on the way to where I'm going

10 I'm not afraid because I know

11 This is my temporary home

12 Young mom, on her own

13 She needs a little help, got nowhere to go

14 She's looking for a job, looking for a way out

15 'Cause a halfway house will never be a home

16 At night she whispers to her baby girl

17 "Someday we'll find our place here in this world"

18 This is our temporary home, it's not where we belong

19 Windows and rooms that we're passing through

20 This is just a stop on the way to where we're going

21 I'm not afraid because I know

22 This is our temporary home

23 Old man, hospital bed

24 The room is filled with people he loves

25 And he whispers

26 "Don't cry for me, I'll see you all someday"

27 He looks up and says

28 "I can see God's face"

29 This is my temporary home, it's not where I belong

30 Windows and rooms that I'm passing through

31 This was just a stop on the way to where I'm going

32 I'm not afraid because I know

33 This was my temporary home

34 This is our temporary home
