Find Me a Home
Seeking Shelter: Grand Island's Poignant Quest for Home
Lyrics
I go though these heavy days too
I experience challenging and burdensome days
they don't seem to be ending
These difficult days seem unending
but when they finally do
When these days finally conclude
they're leaving you with nothing
They leave you with a sense of emptiness or loss
so by all means just come on in
Feel free to come into my life
it seems i wasn't doing anything
It appears that I was not actively engaged in anything
but now i wish that i had
Now, I regret not doing something special to conceal the sadness
been doing something special to hide the sad
Expressing a desire to have hidden the sadness through meaningful actions
oh, but, oh, well
A resigned acknowledgment of the situation

please find me home
A plea for someone to find a home for the speaker
and let your sweet old heart give in to me
Asking for the person to open their heart to the speaker
this house is no home
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current living situation
what it is is much too much for me
Describing the current state as overwhelming for the speaker
i just want a place to call my own
Expressing a simple desire for a place to call one's own
are you the guy you want to be
Reflecting on one's identity and self-perception
the way you sit down don't seem right to me
Observing a discrepancy in someone's behavior
but then you stand
Noting a change in posture to a more assertive stance
back straight eyes sharp on the price
Describing a confident and focused demeanor
see what is, what's to see
Encouraging the person to perceive things as they are
you're all of a sudden limber, lose and free
Describing a sudden sense of freedom and ease
making everyone just think
Suggesting that the person is influencing others positively
that its really you they ought to be
Implying that others should recognize the person's authenticity
that's the way
Reiterating the observed positive behavior
