Retrospection

Who nursed you
Was your sadness eased with love?
Grass will grow later in the spring
The one who carried you above their head
The one who carried you above their head
 
Slip up and fall straight into the arm of my mother
Break down and go right into the healing hands of my father
 
It's been a while since I came home
My heart is elsewhere as I roam and roam
Until I find myself alone
Childhood of misery is lifelong injury
No, it's not for me. What I've always had
Father's love and mother's hand
 
Nobody has ever seen a bird crawl back to its eggshell
Followed by the bygone scenes
It makes me wanna get through them again!
 
I retrace my steps
To fall back into my nest
In a minute eyes are closed
Just to feel where I'm supposed to be
 
Is that what they call homesick?
Am I chasing the past?
Does my mind play insidious tricks?
Cuz the present moves too fast
 
Straight into the arms
Straight into the arms
(Who nursed you?)
Straight into the arms
(Was your sadness eased with love?)
Straight into the arms
Falling back into my nest

I have a correction here:
Who was nursing you?
(Who was) easing (your) sadness with love?
Later in the spring, the grass will grow
On the one who carried you above their head
On the one who carried you above their head
