lyrics

Home is just too far away
home is home is far away
home is just too far away far away

Home is just too far away
a call from afar and I could not stay
Home is just too far away
a call from afar and I could not stay
Saw something good something great
something extraordinary something special
something made made by their hands

No compass needed
we're free like the rats we're pirates
in fact home is the road around our glorious globe
we always find our way back home

Home is just too far away
home is home is far away
home is just too far way far away
Home is just too far away
a call from afar and I did betray

Something good something great
something good something great something special
something made made by your hands

No compass needed
we're free like the rats we're pirates
in fact home is the road around our glorious globe
we always find our way back home
