There's a question on my mind
The answer I hope to find
We use it every day
"Honey, I'm home" we say
What is HOME anyway?
Maybe it's a person, locked up in your heart
Who is very kind and very smart
Who makes you feel better about who you are
Who makes you feel like a shiny star.
Perhaps it's a place, where you are never cold
If you are so young or very old
If you are in trouble, it's where you can hide
Right on the front or deep inside.
At night it's where you can sleep
Safe and sound and very deep.
Well I think it's a feeling, you even could have it in jail
It's a feeling you want to feel after you fail
It's a feeling you feel if you're under a wing
It's a feeling you feel if you have a safe country and a brave king.
It's a feeling full of love and trust
You must feel that once. You must.
Whatever it is, it's something we all need
It's a special, unique feeling. It is indeed.
Whenever you find your home hold it tight
So it won't fly away like a kite
And you don't have to live against gloom and fright.

Maybe what you need to know for this is that I have two nationalities. I am bilingual. I was raised with a bit of both cultures. Most people say, even now, that I have best of both worlds....Well in a way that is true.
But it effected me in a way that I never felt like I belonged to either of the two groups. Like I was alone and not understood.
Now after I changed countries and met other half-half people I know that even they are not like me. That even they are different. Even my Brother is different than me in that aspect. We are all a "special case"...... I guess I am still working on that one.
Do you guys have the same issue??
P.S.: If you pay attention you will see how I mentioned the at the time political turbulence in there..
