I didn't really think that there would be
a day when you would leave this family
not leaving in a sense that you are gone
only your presence leaves but still your heart beats strong

Here, in this house we had our memories
those precious times we spent as enemies
then friends again and laughing all the same
Our mother almost thought we'd gone insane

Our journeys up the hills and over lands
In our minds was where it all begin
those streets and houses built from just pure imagination
T'was nothing ever more real that all of our creation

We'd tumble 'cross the living room in fighting and at war
The most ferocious battle 'tween young sisters you ever saw
But even as we lay defeated writhing on the floor
Our hearts were never far from one another that's for sure

Yet come a day it must where one would have to leave this place
to search out greater dreams and of the real world, have a taste
i wish that i could be there, not just left here all alone
but then again it's here that my own heart does still belong...

happy early 21st to nu
