Hey Mom
I am far from home
Do you miss me?
Yeah I really miss you
Hey Dad
What's been going on? Tell me, how's my brothers? How's my sister?
Lately, I feel so far away
I'm too old to be your baby anymore
And I've colored in my skin
Yeah, I know how much you hate that
But it's part of who I am, and that's for sure

So I'm leaving you
But I'll be home soon
Don't cry
You know I love you
Gotta see the world
But I'm still your girl
And I'm fine
I'll always love you.

Hey friend
Caught a movie by myself
It's not the same, yeah
It's no fun without you
Some days
I feel like somebody else
Some kind of stranger
When I'm not around you
So I guess I'll hit the road
Never know where I am going
Every city different than the day before
But I'll call you on the phone
How I love to hear you talking
Gets me through the dark and that's for sure

So, I'm leaving you
But I'll be home soon
Don't cry
You know I love you
Gotta see the world
But I'm still your girl
And I'm fine
I'll always love you.

Please don't forget that I'm thinking of you
Your fingerprint's on everything that I do
Please don't be lonely cause I'm coming home
I'll be back before you ever knew I was gone
Well, I gotta hit the road
I'm so tired, but I'm going
Cause a dreamer never sleeps and that's for sure

So, I'm leaving you
But I'll be home soon
Don't cry
You know I love you
Gotta see the world
But I'm still your girl
And I'm fine
I'll always love you.
