I don’t know 
where I live.
I don’t know 
where home is.

But I’ll find it 
soon
Even if I had to
look for it
from the moon.
So I sing 
this song
in hope
that someone 
will find it for me. 
I've been waiting
so long 
for that moment
to come 
when I'm home. 

A place 
where I’ll roam
freely
without fear
of being lost
again.
And yes
I dare
to take any cost
to see it 
just once
than 
dreaming forever
of home. 

I don’t know 
where I live.
I don’t know 
where home is.

But I'll travel that far
Even if it means
sleeping 
under the stars.
For my freedom
for my people,
a peaceful 
kingdom.

A land
where I will be honored
to put my body
to rest.
Oh I will 
certainly
be blessed.
For centuries
my blood 
has been shed
just to save home 
from the chaos
that war led. 
 
I know 
home is out there
hidden
somewhere
waiting to be
all mine.
I wish to see it
even 
if it will be
the last time.
