[Intro]

C F

[Verse 1]

Little boy, 6 years old

A little too used to bein' alone

Another new mom and dad, another school

Another house that'll never be home

When people ask him

G F

how he likes this place

Am G F

He looks up and says with a smile upon his face

[Chorus]

This is my temporary home

It's not where I belong

Am G F

Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through

C G

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

Am G F

I'm not afraid because I know

this is my

C F

temporary home

[Verse 2]

Young mom on her own

She needs a little help got nowhere to go.

She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out

Because a half-way house will never be a home

At night she whispers

G F

to her baby girl:

Someday we'll find a

G F

place here in this world

[Chorus]

This is our temporary home

It's not where we belong

Windows and rooms that we're passin' through

I'm not afraid because I know

this is our

This is my temporary home

It's not where I belong
