HOME SWEET HOME

More than twenty years ago
We left our nest
Now one by one we return
Singing, rejoicing in the sun


Alas, in our midst
Are proud, ungrateful ones
This nest they destroy
They ravage and they spoil


More than twenty hours a day
You sweat and toil
You laid the bricks
You tilled the soil


Amidst your laughter
Tears pitter-patter
Our home was wrecked
Dilapidated and cracked


Less than twenty hours ago
You rebuilt as you pant
You repaired and you mend
Our home must stand


We do not bend
From sources within or without
United we can
Rejuvenate our home again.
