Do you remember that house
On the corner of the street
The one you guys built up with lil ol' me
Yeah, it may not have been the best
With broken blinds and chipped brick
But I can attest
We tried our very best
With its paper-thin walls and daily mess
It wasn't much, but it was our little nest
It wasn't much, but it was our little nest
Made up of surrounding twigs and pine
It wasn't much, but it was something I called mine
And to this day, mama, I wouldn't have it any other way
And when I look back
I see a dozen eyes trained on me
It's my little siblings watching curiously
Sitting by as I learn to breathe
And freedom air enters my wings
I promise I leave behind the best of me
Mama, I will not forget the nest right there on Pinecroft Drive
No matter how hard I try
