featuring my late grandfather's old Lowrey organ and organ beats
lyrics
this longing for home is not new either
for generations my family moved across lands as required to make a living
and left their loved ones behind to work
and spend late evenings absent-mindedly reaching out their hand
to an empty space
beside them on the bed
i am grateful for the sacrifices of my forefathers
and i follow where i need to go according to my duty
but the distances & absences still weigh heavy
and every morning when i wake up, i am lost in recollection
of all the houses i have stayed in, where am i now
when do i go home
where am i
why am i here
who am i
