Back to where I belong.

Verse 1

The city lights are shining, but they don’t feel like the stars,

The streets are full of strangers, I don’t know who they are.

The sound of rushing traffic drowns the whisper of the breeze,

And I’m longing for the quiet, and the rustle of the trees.

Chorus

Take me back to where I belong,

Where the nights are warm, and the days are long.

Where the river sings, and the mountains roam,

Oh, my heart is aching, I’m missing home.

Verse 2

I can see my mother’s garden, in the pictures that I keep,

I remember father’s laughter as we drifted off to sleep.

The smell of rain on red clay, the morning’s gentle glow,

I’d trade a thousand city lights for one sunset I know.

Chorus

Take me back to where I belong,

Where the nights are warm, and the days are long.

Where the river sings, and the mountains roam,

Oh, my heart is aching, I’m missing home.

Bridge

No matter how far I roam,

There’s a thread that pulls me home.

Through every mile, through every tear,

I hear home calling clear.

Chorus (repeat)

Take me back to where I belong,

Where the nights are warm, and the days are long.

Where the river sings, and the mountains roam,

Oh, my heart is aching, I’m missing home.

Outro

Yes, my heart is aching, I’m missing home.
