I'm Coming Home
Kenny Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a long way from home and so all alone and I'm scared like I thought I'd never be
I'm a long way from home and everything is wrong Lord please watch over me

Can't get a custom to the hunger no one seems to notice that I'm cold
This life's not making me no younger I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told
I'm a long way from home
Well last night I slept in a public mission you know you can't imagine how I felt
With things that they happened to me like they were fiction

Someone tried to steal my shoes while I slept

I'm a long way from home and so all alone
I'm a long way from home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kenny's song "I'm Coming Home" speaks about the fear and loneliness that someone feels when they are far away from home. The singer is struggling to adjust to his new surroundings and feels like everything is going wrong. He is cold and hungry, but nobody seems to notice or care. He wishes he had listened to his parents' advice and stayed at home. The singer talks about sleeping in a public mission, where he had a very scary experience. Someone tried to steal his shoes while he was sleeping, and he felt helpless and alone.

This song perfectly captures the emotions that someone feels when they are far from home and struggling to find their place in a new environment. The singer is scared, lonely, and vulnerable, and the lyrics reflect that. The fact that the singer is trying to find comfort in prayer highlights the desperation he feels. The song shows us that we can't take the comfort of home for granted, and when we are far away, we realize how much we miss it.
