She said she could always talk
But recently just learned to speak
Words were empty, no meaning
Something thrown to the street
Her head to the ground
A dog licked her lashes clean
Opened her eyes to a world
That wanted to be seen
Home
For the first time
Home
For the first time
Lost half of her sight
Found her way by hearing voices
Through these rooms of green concrete
Something was growing thеre
Words started flowing
To match the way that shе was feeling
Backwards, sideways on the page
A kiss on the forehead
Home
For the first time
Home
For the first time
Sometimes there are those
Who are kinder than our own families
They see you only
Understand the ache and longing
Home
For the first time
Home
For the first time
