Temporary Home Lyrics - American Idol

Little boy, six years old 

A little too used to being 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 passing 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 looking for a job, looking for a way out 

'Cause a halfway house will never be a home 

At night she whispers to her baby girl 

Someday we'll find our place here in this world 

This is our temporary home, it's not where we belong 

Windows and rooms that we're passing 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 passing through 

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

I'm not afraid because I know this was my temporary home 

This is our temporary home
