CLittle boy, 6 years old
                     FA little too used to bein' alone
CAnother new mom and dad, another school
                      FAnother house that'll never be home

AmWhen people ask him
G                   Fhow he likes this place
         Am               G                      FHe looks up and says with a smile upon his face


                       CThis is my temporary home
                   GIt's not where I belong
             Am        G              FWindows and rooms that I'm passin' through
                C                             GThis is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going
          Am     G        FI'm not afraid because I know
         Gthis is my
         Ctemporary home.

CYoung mom on her own
                              FShe needs a little help got nowhere to go.
        CShe's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out
                              FBecause a half-way house will never be a home

   AmAt night she whispers
G             Fto her baby girl:
    AmSomeday we'll find a
G                         Fplace here in this world

                       CThis is our temporary home
                    GIt's not where we belong
             Am          G              FWindows and rooms that we're passin' through
                C                                GThis is just a stop, on the way to where we're going
          Am     G        FI'm not afraid because I know
         Gthis is our
         Ctemporary home.
