Feeling happy,
But just a little bit sad.
Feeling contented,
Remembering friends that I had.

Many places,
Make me reminisce of where I've been.
Many faces,
Make me reminisce of who I've seen,

Faces, places and sights I've seen,
Happy faces,
Beautiful places.

Still, I'm so glad,
To be home after what I had.

Feelings, memories and places I've seen,
Cities, towns and routes I've been.

But still I'm ever so glad,
To be among faces that I know.
Nor will I ever be sad,
To be back home - it makes me glow.

Feeling happy,
But just a little bit sad,
Feeling contented,
Of all that I've had.
