Take Me Back Home

Set my sights upon a new world’s charm
My vision it was clouded saw no reason for alarm
I had made my mind up, now i could not decline
A downward sloping hill led to a place so divine
Felt i was a giant in this strange new land
I began to see my expectations were too grand
Endless faces on a street with no name
I shuffle through the crowd avoiding their game
Take me back home
Catch me before i stumble
Freed of this cage
Where everyone’s dreams they crumble
What started out as freedom soon began to fade
I didn’t have much time so i ended the charade
I realize now that i set the bar too high
Nothing worth my time could be so easily denied
To see a place so cold embraced by vanity
I couldn’t justify the cause and keep my sanity
The signs were obvious how could i’ve been so blind
The dream’s not over just a new path i must find
Take me back home
Catch me before i stumble
Freed of this cage
Where everyone’s dreams they crumble
