Lyrics
- How much longer will I have to stay here?
- One more day, or a month, or a year?
- Far from everything I've ever known
- Far away from the Island called Sodor
- Far away from that Island called home
- Where are you Annie and Clarabel?
- Have you been left in the shed?
- Or are you out on my branch line
- With some other engine instead
- I miss all of my friends
- I miss hearing their names
- Percy and Toby and Gordon
- It's strange but I even miss James
- I'm not joking, I even miss James
- I wanted to have an adventure
- I wanted to wander and roam
- I wanted to see places I'd never seen
- But now I just wanna go home
- Tell me when do I get to go home
- All I wanna do is go back to Sodor
- All I wanna do is get back to my friends
- I don't wanna be stuck here forever and always
- In this hot house where work never ends
- I wanted adventure
- I wanted to roam
- I wanted new places but now I want home
- I mean it, I have to go home
- So lock up your gates with your skeleton key
- You can't make me stay where I don't want to be
- It's not right, it's not fair
- This is no place for me
- I want to, I need to, I have to be free to go home!
- I'll find my way home
- I'll make my way home
- It's time to go home
- I'm going home!
