"Temporary Home" Verse 1
|
|
"Little boy six years old." |
Establishes time |
"Little too used to being alone" |
Provides emotional context |
"Another new Mom and Dad," |
Describes his situation |
"Another School, another house that’ll never be home" |
Describes expectation (a question that will be answered in the chorus) |
"When people ask him how he likes this place" |
Like writing a scene, this is where the story turns |
"He looks up and says with a smile on his face." |
This is the outcome or action that the “turn” initiates. |

It’s not where I belong

This is my temporary home.”
