"Soon As I Get Home" lyrics[]

Stephanie Mills (As soon as I get home)
  • There's a feeling here inside
  • That I cannot hide
  • And I know I've tried
  • But it's turning me around
  • I'm not sure that I'm aware
  • If I'm up or down
  • Or here or there
  • I need both feet on the ground
  • Why do I feel like I'm drowning
  • When there is plenty of air?
  • Why do I feel like frowning?
  • I think the feeling is fear.
  • Here I am in a different place
  • In a different time
  • In this time and space
  • But I don't want to be here
  • I was told I must see the Wiz
  • But i don't know what a wizard is
  • I just hope the Wiz is there
  • Maybe I'm just going crazy
  • Letting myself get uptight
  • I'm acting just like a baby
  • But I'm gonna be alright
  • Soon as I get home
  • Soon as I get home
  • Soon as I get home
  • In a different place
  • In a different time
  • Different people around me
  • I would like to know of that different world
  • And how different they find me
  • And just what's a Wiz
  • Is he big, will he scare me?
  • If I ask to leave
  • Will the Wiz even hear me?
  • How will I know then
  • If I'll ever get home again?
  • Here I am alone
  • Though it feels the same
  • I don't know where I'm going
  • I'm here on my own
  • And it's not a game
  • And a strange wind is blowing
  • I am so amazed
  • At the things that I see here
  • I just don't want to be afraid
  • I just don't want to be here
  • In my mind this is clear
  • What am I doing here?
  • I wish I was home

Trivia[]
