My Home I Never Knew

My home I never knew

Deep red ground and emerald green leaves, framed by the bright blue sky

The crash and the whips, smell and the haste of the river running by

Dusty dusk and the bright night stars glistening by the moon

The subtle noise of mother earth singing her evening tune

The smiles on the faces of the children as they eat

Saving them from a life of living on the streets

The scent of the land so honest and so true

This is the place, my home I never knew

Tears in their jumpers, shoes with huge holes,

Seems never to have ever dampened their souls

The love for their brothers, their life and education

Shows their compassion and how they’re blessed as a nation

There’s a gratitude for help and thanks straight out of the blue

This is the place, my home I never knew

The town is so colourful, so bustling, so loud

It’s hard to spot innocence in between the crowds

A glimpse of a child who's rummaging in the dirt

Is the moment your heartbreaks, and you really feel hurt

As a tear rolls down my senses break through

This is the place, my home I never knew

A hope for the future is what Solomon brings

So that every child can eat like they are kings

So that every mind is filled high up with information

So futures can grow and build upon their foundation

An honour to be part of, and humbling to view

This is the place, my home I never knew

So what does it mean, and where can it go

The only way is, to build it and to grow

To open up a world, a virtual window to their days

Showing how we can help in many different ways

Children filled with hope of what the future can do

This is the place, my home I never knew
