Away From Home

The word home is so securing,so enlivening
I know I would never like to be away
 I know there are many--
     -- who think the same way
     but end up being away
 They say u never know unless u try it out
 'm quite sure they 're right
  How one becomes so independent
   one never knows
   he has to have a seperate circle--
     --develop a comradree
   It has to be a home away from home
     but don't forget your parents
      without u it's no home for them
      'coz for them u are everything
      So when at home,cover up --
            --the gap
give them your 100%
      and see how they remain
         with u always
