On the Move Again from Somewhere
by Michael Rosen
You know
You gotta go.
No time to grieve
You just gotta leave.
Get away from the pain
On the move again.
Take the train.
Catch a plane.
Make the trip
In a ship.
Take a hike.
Ride a bike.
Go by car.
Going far.
Use your feet
On the street.
Get stuck
In a truck.
Then you arrive.
And you’re alive.
You arrive.
You’re alive.
What you leave behind
Won’t leave your mind.
But home is where you find it.
Home is where you find it.
Home is where you find it.
Home is where you find it
