Raised in a place and a time
Of closed and tiny minds
"If you don't conform
Pain will be the norm"
Gotta go home
Not where I was born
But where I now belong
Where I can be strong
It was not safe to be
The authentic me
What was my crime?
A smart and open mind
Gotta go home
Not where I was born
But where I now belong
Where I can be strong
But look at me now
With the right crowd
Curious and kind
Not wilfully blind
Gotta go home
Not where I was born
But where I now belong
Where I can be strong
Gotta go home
Something was wrong
But now I have grown
No longer scared and alone
