This is only the first verse, but my loop pedal broke shortly after finishing this. This is an original song called "Away from Home" and it was written during what I think was the darkest period of my life.
2 full-time jobs, basically never seeing my kids for more than 30 minutes a day before they sleep 5 days a week, too exhausted to do anything with them during the other two days.
When I had a moment to think about my circumstance, this is what came to mind:
Home, Away from home
wearing on my weary soul
to reach the place
where I'll find peace
as they make sure
I'll never reach
So I must march with only memories
of laughter in my mind
'cause their machinations are designed
to drain me of my time
and my life
which they claim to own
so I'm still not home
(the other lyrics, not in the recording but to the same melody)
A land with grass
as far as I can gaze
where all my food
can freely graze
where I'll raise kids
who'll never need
to be unsure
of when they'll feed
but they want us to be reliant
'cause their power all relies
on us not being able to ensure
our needs for our own lives
so they restrict
what we can grow
so I'm still not home
Well I want kids
it's my destiny
it's why they'll strip
us of our seed
because a dream
that's all my own
might distract their
prized worker drone
after all, I might want to give my
family more of my time
but that would mean I'm less available
to slave away for dimes
so they restrict
whose seed can sow
so I'm still not home
