Road to London
By Jamil
[Intro]
Yeah…
My name is Jamil… J-A-M-I-L…
This ain’t just music…
This is my life.
[Verse 1]
Born in Afghanistan, mountains in the sky,
Never thought one day I’d have to say goodbye.
Left my mother’s tears, left my father’s door,
Every single step made my heart feel sore.
No gold in my pocket, only dreams inside,
Prayed to God every lonely night.
I wasn’t chasing money, I was chasing life,
Walking through the darkness just to find the light.
[Verse 2]
Iran… long roads, sleeping on the ground,
Silence all around, not a single sound.
Turkey… cold nights, hiding from the rain,
Every breath I took carried fear and pain.
Italy… waves trying to pull me below,
Didn’t know tomorrow, didn’t know where to go.
France… one more border, one more fight,
Still I kept walking through the darkest night.
[Hook]
They see me smiling now… they don’t know my scars.
They don’t know the journey, they don’t know how hard.
From Afghanistan to the UK I came,
Through fire and storms, I stayed the same.
My name is Jamil, remember my name,
Every single scar became my flame.
[Verse 3]
Now I’m in London, different streets, different skies,
But Afghanistan still lives inside my eyes.
Every step I take, every dream I chase,
I carry my homeland in every place.
You can leave your country, but never your soul,
Broken into pieces, still becoming whole.
If you ask me how I made it through the pain…
Faith in my heart kept me alive again.
[Outro]
This wasn’t luck.
This wasn’t easy.
This was survival.
I’m Jamil… J-A-M-I-L.
From Afghanistan…
Through Iran… Turkey… Italy… France…
To the United Kingdom.
This is my story…
And I’m still writing it.
