So Far Away
Amici Lyrics

There's a land
Referring to the country where the singer was born and raised

That gave me life
The country was the birthplace of the singer

That made me free
The country provided the singer with the freedom to pursue their dreams

That made me proud
The country instilled a sense of pride and connection to the singer

And someday
One day in the future

I will return
The singer wishes to go back to their home country

Home to the land
The singer considers their country true home

Of the long white cloud
A poetic reference to the country's Maori name, Aotearoa

Where is home?
A rhetorical question posed by the singer

I hear you say
The singer imagines someone asking them where home is

So far away
The country is geographically distant from the singer's current location

I hear your voice from afar
The singer feels the emotional connection to their home despite distance

It haunts me wherever I stay
The longing for home persists wherever the singer goes

But I must follow a star
The singer must pursue their goals, even if it means leaving home behind

In the song
The singer hears reminders and memories of home through music

Upon the breeze
Nature also carries the singer's memories of home

And in the roar
The powerful sound of the ocean reminds the singer of home

Of rolling waves
A reference to the ocean itself which surrounds NZ

Like the roots
The singer uses a metaphor to convey the deep connection to home

Of ancient trees
Another metaphor for the singer's deep roots in their home country

That run so deep
The singer's connection to home is very strong

In the earth I crave
A strong longing to be back in the singer's home country

I hear your voice in my heart
The emotional connection to their home is deep and unshakeable

I miss you much more than I can say
The singer feels a profound sense of loss for their home country
