They say you can never go home again

[OC]

This is certainly true for me, as I have no home to return to. My family home is in other hands; my father's house, while I love being there, has never been home for me; my mother's house is no longer home; the apartment I currently call home is only so because of my nearby friends.

If you were to ask me what I see when I think of home, I would tell you of pictures in my head that have little in common with memories.

For me, the question is to where is my hometown? WHere are my roots? Home I have. Good thoughts, OC.

[Markel]

I don't know what I'm searching for
I never have opened the door,
Tomorrow might find me at last,
Turning my back on the past,
But, time will tell, of stars that fell,
A million years ago.
Memories can never take you back, home, sweet home.
You can never go home anymore.

All my life I never really knew me till today,
Now I know why, I'm just another step along the way,

I lie awake for hours, I'm just waiting for the sun.
When the journey we are making has begun,
Don't deny the feeling that is stealing through your heart,
Every happy ending needs to have a start.

All my life I never really knew me till today,
Now I know why, I'm just another step along the way,

Weep no more for treasures you've been searching for in vain.
'Cos the truth is gently falling with the rain,
High above the forest lie the pastures of the sun,
Where the two that learned the secret are now one.

I don't know what I'm searching for
I never have opened the door,
Tomorrow might find me at last,
Turning my back on the past,
But, time will tell, of stars that fell,
A million years ago.
Memories can never take you back, home, sweet home.
You can never go home anymore.
