How is it that ones soul can cry out for a place they have never been to/
For a place they've only seen in movies and pictures/
A place that they seem to know will make them whole/
Why does it bring tears to my eyes/
Why does it cripple me to know I'll never have it/
If I could have just one wish in this world/
It would be to live in the one place I feel is my home/
Even though I've never been there, I can smell the salt from the ocean/
I can feel the way the wind would brush against my skin/
The smell of the land is fresh in my mind/
How is it possible for me to know these things/
Is it to torment me? Have I not lead a decent life/
There music plays in tune with my soul, it moves me/
I can feel this place crying out for me to come home/
To return to the place I truly belong/
The only place I will ever be happy/
Is the one place I will probably never have/
If only I could go/
I need it like I've never needed anything before/
Maybe one day god will see fit to send me home/
To the lands of my ancestors/
