Train outside my window
Carry me,
Over frozen bridges,
Past snowcapped peaks,
Back to my home in the saguaros
Where my husband waits for me
Rain outside my window
Carry me
Down endless rivers,
Across unrelenting plains
To my home by the sea
Where my children wait me
Wind outside my window
Carry me
Above oak forests
And bright city lights
To my home on the farm
Where Mother and Dad wait for me
Sun outside my window
Lower a ladder
And I will climb
above the clouds
Past the stars
To my home in the great beyond
Nurse rushing past my door
Help me
Get away from here!
I don’t need a hug
And I don’t want that pill!
I want to go home.
