Interlude:
This song is dedicated to international students or teenagers that had to make sacrifices to pursue their dreams and are simply missing home. Maybe it isn’t your actual house that you miss but your family, friends and even the routine you did before moving away. Maybe you didn’t move far away but you just entered adulthood and had to say goodbye to the carefree version of yourself. Whatever you may be going through, you are not alone. I know that it feels cold but it will get warmer eventually, I promise. Roads may seem blocked, skies may look dark and time seems to pass by too fast. Everything you are facing right now is just another phase that you will overcome and conquer. If you feel like giving up, don’t. Do you know that if you are able to withstand everything that life has thrown at you so far then you can do anything? You are unstoppable. Don’t just let me, your friends or your family tell you that. Tell yourself that you can and you will succeed. You will be able to make your family proud and accomplish anything your heart desire as long as you DON’T GIVE UP. Now keep these words in mind, positivity, patience, and perseverance. Remember to be positive, be patient and to try your best to persevere.
Verse 1:
My days get harder to bare
Especially when I’m alone
I laugh the pain away
I wipe my tears secretly
But that’s a part of growing up
Can I turn back time
To when I was five
When daddy held me and said
I’ll be your superman
I remember having
Race cars and Nintendo’s
Mommy in an apron
Oh I never thought I’d miss the sight of that
Pre-chorus:
But as I grow older
I learn that maybe sometimes
Letting go is better than holding on
Darling remember that even if you fall,
I’ll take your hand and lift you up
Chorus:
And I know you are strong..
Yes it might be hard
You miss the feeling of home
But home is where your heart lays
Don’t be scared to cry
I’ll lend you my shoulder
When roads seem way too dark
Look up I’ll be right there
Ten thousand miles might seem so far
But we’re so close at heart~
Verse 2:
Take a breath, close your eyes
Take one step at a time
Don’t look back
And wonder why
Keep moving forward
For a better time
Mom and dad
I’ll come back home
I’ll make you proud
And buy you a car
Maybe a brand new house
With a huge backyard
What do you say?
Can you wait for me
Pre-chorus:
There’s no mountain high enough
No ocean deep enough
Can break what we have
Because we’ll walk in this path
Without looking back
And one thing’s for sure
We’ll be okay
Chorus:
And I know you are strong.
Yes it might be hard
You miss the feeling of home
But home is where your heart lays
Don’t be scared to cry
I’ll lend you my shoulder
When roads seem way too dark
Look up I’ll be right there
Ten thousand miles might seem so far
But we’re so close at heart~
Bridge:
Even when your world feels like it’s crumbling down
Look into my eyes and find the silver lining
Please don’t give in to the voices inside your head
Because I’m here for you
And you are stronger than you think
Outro:
At last, when I knock on your front door
And I can start smelling your cologne
You’ll see the light shining through my eyes
And I’ll be able to see you smile
As tears start strolling through your face
I’ll say “Mom and dad I’m home”
