Standard (EADGBE)

Little boy, 6 years old

 A little too used to bein' alone

Another new mom and dad, another school

 Another house that'll never be home

When people ask him

how he likes this place

 He looks up and says with a smile upon his face

 This is my temporary home

 It's not where I belong

 Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through

 This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going

 I'm not afraid because I know

 this is my

 temporary home.

Young mom on her own

 She needs a little help got nowhere to go.

 She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out

 Because a half-way house will never be a home

 At night she whispers

to her baby girl:

 Someday we'll find a

place here in this world

 This is our temporary home

 It's not where we belong

 Windows and rooms that we're passin' through

 This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going

 I'm not afraid because I know

 this is our

 temporary home.

Old man, hospital bed

 The room is filled with people he loves

 And he whispers don't cry for me

 I'll see you all someday

 He looks up and says "I can see God's face."

 This is my temporary home

 It's not where I belong

 Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through

 This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going

 I'm not afraid because I know

 this is my

 temporary home

This is our temporary home.
