Home Sweet Home


Home sweet beloved home
Can you hear us cry?
Our hearts break to see you fall
We can never be the same without you

Who is there so cruel and callous
To chop you down with no pity
Your wooden ceilings and polished doors
Will now be fuel in some unknown hearths

When you cease to exist on the earth
Orphaned and dismembered we will be
Our souls dwell within you forever
Our roots lie deep in your soil

You were the guardian angel and friend
In whose hands our parents left us
When they left the mortal world for good
Safe and secure we felt within your walls

Where shall we look for a roof when you are gone?
Where shall we assemble together again?
A world without you is hard to imagine
Homeless wanderers we shall ever be

Into oblivion we will never let you go
For we have carved a niche in our hearts for you
A place so sacred and inaccessible
That no selfish hands can harm you ever
[Written when the process of breaking down the ancestral home was going on]
