Far From Home

VERSE 1 (Tempo: 76 BPM • Feel: soft cinematic pad + light percussion • bolero phrasing, 8–10 syllables per line).

Once upon a time,

I was home and tired of the same old line.

Then it hit me —

A moment when I chose to leave.

Everything outside

Shined bright and called my name, so I took flight.

Past the gates I dreamed,

Thought the world was mine to lead.

Tried to write a story

Using only my own hands.

The dreams I chased so hard,

The things I reached so far —

What I touched, what I held, what I claimed

Turned into sand.

And now I understand…

PRE‑CHORUS (Tempo: 76 BPM • Feel: cinematic rise, soft strings, emotional lift).

I lost myself

Trying to find who I was.

I fell so deep the darkest pit

Had no more room for love.

And now I see —

I gained nothing (I know).

Those I loved, I let go,

I released, I left behind.

CHORUS (Tempo: 78 BPM • Feel: bigger strings, warm pads, bolero‑bachata sway, heavenly atmosphere)

But if I try… (if I try)

If I return… (if I return)

Is there still a place for me?

Can I find my way again?

VERSE 2 (WITH RAP SECTION - Tempo: 76 BPM • Feel: soft storytelling + light Latin percussion • spoken‑rap hybrid).

SUNG (Bolero phrasing):

Past the gates I saw

The weight of every choice I made.

Everything I won

Slipped slowly through my hands like rain.

The walls I built so high

I thought would keep me safe —

I searched for freedom, found danger instead,

Now I’m alone.

Now I’m alone.

RAP (Hip‑Hop • conversational, steady flow):

(Tempo: 92 BPM over same 76 BPM bed • add hip‑hop rimshots + sub‑bass).

I was running for the spotlight, chasing every open door,

Thought the world would fill the void, but it only asked for more.

Every victory was empty, every promise turned to dust,

I was living for the moment, but the moment lost my trust.

So I’m walking back in pieces, with the truth I can’t deny —

All the pride I tried to carry only left me running dry.

If there’s mercy in the Father, if there’s grace for me to find,

Then I’m coming home with nothing…

But a desperate, broken mind.

PRE‑CHORUS (RETURN - Tempo: 76 BPM • Feel: cinematic rise, emotional strings, heavenly tension).

So I’ll go back home,

That’s the only way to live.

I will walk, I will run

Straight into Your arms again.

I’m so tired of the journey

Fueled by pride and empty dreams.

In a moment, I see the Father

Running close to me.

I don’t know if there’s forgiveness,

But I need to try.

I fall down at His feet

And start to cry:

BRIDGE (Tempo: 74 BPM • Feel: intimate, heavenly pads, soft strings, emotional whisper)

“I don’t know what I should say.

I don’t know if You’ll take me in.

Father, I humble myself —

Make me Your servant, let me return.”

CLIMAX

(Tempo: 78 BPM • Feel: full cinematic orchestral swell, emotional peak, golden atmosphere)

Then He reached for me,

Ran to me, held me close.

I was not the same,

But His love never changed.

He said, “I forgive you.

I’ve waited for so long.”

He became my shelter — and told them all:

“My child came
