Take me back home!

Take me back home, Where the warmest love came from mother, Where loyalty is not a choice but culture. Take me back home, Where tears were only for joy, Because of the laughters you get around family. Take me back home, where cheating is like a forbidden fruit, If you cheat, it brings curse to your generation. Take me back home, Where the only chest I lean on, is my mother's chest As I feel safer and loved unconditionally. Take me back home, So that I can heal from this pain, scars, betrayal I got from streets, As mother's love never stopped loving me. Being home is the only remedy for my healing.
