I'm Home
Embracing Roots: Jojo Worthington's 'I'm Home' Resonates with Longing and Belonging
Lyrics
I've been gone for a very long time
I've been away for a considerable duration
For a very long time indeed
Indeed, a notably extended period
For so long
Such a prolonged absence
From maple trees, across to the channel sea
From areas encompassing maple trees to the Channel Sea
But now I'm home
I have returned to my place of residence
And I can't believe the times that just ran along
I'm astonished by how swiftly time passed
But man, it's good to be home
Nevertheless, it's comforting to be back
Yeah, it's good to be home
Yes, it feels pleasant to be back
I lived upon a hilltop dressed
My dwelling was situated atop a hill
In a thousand shades of green
Adorned with an array of green hues
A castle on a hill
Resembling a castle on the hill
And in the trees
Amidst the trees
A pond where birds would call their very own
A pond that served as a sanctuary for birds
But now they've flown back home
However, they've returned to their original habitat
They say, it's good to be home
They affirm the gratification of returning home
And we'd all say
We all acknowledged
That every single stone that ever laid
That each stone laid in the foundation was a part of us
Was us in the foundations of the clay
Every element contributed to the base
The stars at night
The nighttime sky's stars
The way I left my old self back behind
I left behind my previous self
Something I'd know when I was home
Something I recognized when at home
Yeah, it's good to be home
The satisfaction of being back home is emphasized
But I couldn't help
I couldn't ignore
The way I felt my heart would pull away
The emotional tug I felt
Just to think about this very same old place
Merely contemplating this familiar place
Familiar cash machines, teenage streets
Areas like cash machines and streets from my adolescence
The way the sidewalks sway
The way the sidewalks curved
My thoughts everyday
My recurrent thoughts in this setting
Yeah, it's good to be home
Despite complexities, it's positive to be home
