The Meaning of Home

Hi my name is Mohamed, and this is my meaning of home. My meaning of home is being with my friends and family. I know it isn’t a real home/house but it feels like one. Being with them makes me feel safe and happy. I make sure to make them feel safe and happy otherwise they also wouldn't feel like they're at home. Making sure we are all feeling at home is just as good as being at home. An example of being with a friend is having a playdate. An example of being with family is having fun with them. A song that describes home is a song called “Home” by Bebe Rexha, Machine Gun Kelly and X Ambassadors. These are the lyrics: “Home A place where i can go To take this off my shoulders Someone take me home Home A place where I can go To take this off my shoulders Someone take me home (let's go) (Someone take me) Look, I didn't power through the struggle just to let a little trouble Knock me out of my position, and interrupt the vision After everything I witnessed, after all of these decisions All these miles, feet, inches They can't add up to the distance That I have been through, just to get to A place where even if there's no closure, I'm still safe I still ache from trying to keep pace Somebody give me a sign, I'm starting to lose faith Now tell me, how did all my dreams turn to nightmares? How did I lose it when I was right there? Now I'm so far that it feels like it's all gone to pieces Tell me why the world never fights fair I'm trying to find Home A place where I can go To take this off my shoulders Someone take me home Home A place where I can go To take this off my shoulders Someone take me home (it's been a long time coming) Someone take me Home, ho-o-o-o-me Home, home Someone take me Home, ho-o-o-o-me Home, home Look, I've been through so much pain and it's hard to maintain Any smile on my face, 'cause there's madness on my brain So I gotta make it back, but my home ain't on the map Gotta follow what I'm feeling to discover where it's at I need the (memory) In case this fate's forever Just to be sure these last days are better And if I have any (enemies) Then give me the strength To look the devil in the face and make it home safe Now tell me, how did all my dreams turn to nightmares? How did I lose it when I was right there? Now I'm so far that it feels like it's all gone to pieces Tell me why the world never fights fair I'm trying to find Home A place where I can go To take this off my shoulders Someone take me home Someone take me I found no cure for the loneliness I found no cure for the sickness Nothing here feels like home Crowded streets, but I'm all alone I found no cure for the loneliness I found no cure for the sickness Nothing here feels like home Crowded streets, but I'm all alone Someone take me home, ho-o-o-o-me (Take me home) home (take me home), home Someone take me home (baby, I need it, somebody, somebody), ho-o-o-o-me (Ain't no place like home) home (take me home), home Someone take me”.
