If you say it right   Say, "There's no place like home"   You'll be back there alone   In your room   (If you say it right)      I'm walking a line   I just want to say that you've been on my mind   We don't talk all the time   Still, I don't need to hear that it's all been a lie      I hope relief's delayed   I wish I knew the reason why she stayed   He made you so afraid   I just know that nothing could burn you out      When you say goodnight   But you don't want to sleep   'Cause the anger's too deep   If you say it right   Say, "There's no place like home"   And you'll be back there alone   In your room      You're too young to go   I'm too old to hear all the things that you know   You're too young to see   But you're too old and wise for the father in me      I know you feel betrayed   I wish I knew the reasons why she stayed   He made you so afraid   I just know that nothing could hurt you now      (repeat chorus)      When you say goodnight (when you say goodnight)   But you don't want to sleep   'Cause the anger's too deep   If you say it right (if you say it right)   Say, "There's no place like home"   And you'll be back there alone   In your room      I wish you could be brave enough to   Get into the mind of those who   Are capable of doing that to   Someone who will always love you   You escape into a world of blackness   To try and justify the hint of madness   To try and justify the hint of madness   To try and justify a world of blackness   Do you start when the kid's awake   Or do you lie and give them all a break?   Are you there because she asked you once to?   You'll regret it 'cause the money came through      It's all gonna change one day   It's all gonna change one day   It's all gonna change one day   It's all gonna change one day      From the moment that I heard you calling   To the second that I heard this morning   From the moment that you passed away   The only church you had was far away, and   We'll be there for you to throw the lifeline   We'll be there for you to see in the sunshine   Move slowly for your brother's sake   You said they need you: now it's all too much to take
