Lyrics

Little boy, six 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 how he likes this place

He looks up and says with a smile upon his face

"This is my temporary home

It's not where I belong

Windows in rooms that I'm passin' through

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

I'm not afraid because I know this is my

Temporary home."

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

'Cause a half-way house will never be a home

At night she whispers to her baby girl

Someday we'll find a place here in this world

"This is our temporary home

It's not where we belong

Windows in rooms that we're passin' through

This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going

I'm not afraid because I know this is our

Temporary home."

Old man, hospital bed

The room is filled with people he loves

And he whispers don't cry for me

I'll see you all someday

He looks up and says "I can see God's face"

"This is my temporary home

It's not where I belong

Windows in rooms that I'm passin' through

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

I'm not afraid because I know this was

My temporary home."

This is our temporary home
