C Little boy, 6 years old F A little too used to bein' alone C Another new mom and dad, another school F Another house that'll never be home Am 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 C This is my temporary home G 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 G this is my C temporary home. C Young mom on her own F She needs a little help got nowhere to go. C She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out F Because a half-way house will never be a home Am At night she whispers G F to her baby girl: Am Someday we'll find a G F place here in this world C This is our temporary home G It's not where we belong Am G F Windows and rooms that we're passin' through C G This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going Am G F I'm not afraid because I know G this is our C temporary home. C - G - Am - G - F C Old man, hospital bed F The room is filled with people he loves Am And he whispers don't cry for me G F I'll see you all someday Am G F He looks up and says "I can see God's face." C This is my temporary home G 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 G this is my C temporary home G - Am G C This is our temporary home.
