[Intro]
In the shadow of the mountains,
Where the rivers used to flow,
I packed my dreams and memories,
To a place I'll never know.
[Verse 1]
Through the fog of my departure,
With a heart that's torn in two,
The weight of all the moments,
Left behind, it haunts me too.
I kissed the soil of my homeland,
Whispered secrets to the breeze,
But the call to chase tomorrow,
Is a song I can't appease.
[Pre-Chorus]
I carry love like baggage,
And the tears of my goodbye,
With every step I'm wondering,
Will I find my way to fly?
[Chorus]
Oh, the hardest part’s the silence,
When the nights stretch long and wide,
In a foreign place I'm searching,
For the warmth where I reside.
Bravery wrapped in shadows,
But the fear cuts like a knife,
I’m an immigrant in motion,
Chasing echoes of my life.
[Verse 2]
In the streets, they speak a language,
That my heart can barely learn,
Yet I smile like I belong here,
While the tide of doubt will churn.
New faces blur like paintings,
Old dreams wear foreign clothes,
In the bustling crowd I'm lonely,
Though there’s comfort I suppose.
[Pre-Chorus]
I carry love like baggage,
With every story tucked away,
In this new and strange horizon,
I fear I might lose my way.
[Chorus]
Oh, the hardest part’s the silence,
When the nights stretch long and wide,
In a foreign place I'm searching,
For the warmth where I reside.
Bravery wrapped in shadows,
But the fear cuts like a knife,
I’m an immigrant in motion,
Chasing echoes of my life.
[Bridge]
But there's hope in the distance,
A light that flickers bright,
I’ll gather all my pieces,
And will stand to fight the night.
So I’ll wear my scars like armor,
With each step I release,
The past, though ever haunting,
Brings me closer to my peace.
[Chorus]
Oh, the hardest part’s the silence,
When the nights stretch long and wide,
In a foreign place I'm searching,
For the warmth where I reside.
Bravery wrapped in shadows,
But the fear cuts like a knife,
I’m an immigrant in motion,
Chasing echoes of my life.
[Outro]
So I’ll write a new story,
With every tear I shed,
Embracing all the changes,
In this journey I will tread.
Each moment makes me stronger,
As I carve my name in time,
Though I’ll forever carry,
A piece of home, that’s mine.
Shogun
