Where do you go when you're flying away?
Where do you go when they can't make you stay?
Over the garden and scraping the tops of the trees

On your way home

What is it like looking down on the beach?
Sailing through sky out of everyone's reach
Suddenly free like a leaf playing tag with the breeze

On your way home
On your way home

And when you get there is it perfect?
And when you get there is a family waiting for you?
I close my eyes and see them laughing, telling jokes, playing games, all of it true
How would they feel if your friend James came along, too?

Where do you go when you start to feel sad?
Everyone's gone no more mum no more dad
Tucked in the clouds is there somewhere you won't be alone?

And when you get there is it perfect?
And when you get there is there someone waiting for you?
May I hold onto your wings and come, too?

On your way home
