Homecoming
Bai Kamara Jr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been away
Been away for so long
Been away
Been away but I kept this song


I will taste the fruits
Of this tree that I planted when I was a young one
Follow this trail
That will lead me to my secret waterfall


I will dance in the rain and the dust
Laugh with the moon and the stars
Give thanks to the spirits and the ghosts
Cos my soul is all I have


Been away
Been away for so long




Been away
Been away but I kept this song
