Home Lyrics - We're New Here - Gil Scott-heron

There's been a whole lot said about your city living 

They told us that the streets were paved with gold 

And some of us believed 'em, left our home and came looking 

But that was just another story they told 

I got to get back and see my people 

Someday and someway 

My old Uncle Henry don't believe in those airplanes 

Lord knows you sure been good to me 

Gave me piggy bak rides down them dusty highways 

When I came just up to his knees 

I got to get back and see my people 

Someday and someway 

I never thought I'd be lost and start searching for warmth and a smile 

I never thought I'd be running through the city streets like a newborn child 

No, no, no 

I never thought I'd be lost and start searching for warmth and a smile 

I never thought I'd be running through the city streets like a newborn child 

But here I am 

And I got some people and I know that they love me 

And I know just where to look this time 

Collar greens and cornbread on my Sunday dinner 

And don't you know that makes me think it's working out fime 

When I get back to see my people 

Someday and someway 

Someday and someway 

And someday, and someway
