Tell the rose not to bloom, the stream to flow
Tell the rain not to fall, the tree to grow
Tell the high summer sky to lose its blue
But don't tell me that I don't belong with you

You could send me away and I would go
I would go but I would not go too far
You could send me home but you would know
Home to me is anywhere you are

When I met you there was nothing to decide
It was simply something happening inside
I felt strange for a minute, then I knew
That I finally felt complete when I found you

So you could send me away and I would go
I would go but I would not go too far
You could send me home but you would know
Home to me is anywhere you are

There are those who never really know their mind
They're confused and they're not the staying kind
They don't know what they're really looking for
I don’t suffer from that problem anymore

So you could send me away and I would go
I would go but I would not go too far
You could send me home but you would know
Home to me is anywhere you are
You could send me home but you would know
Home to me is anywhere you are
