Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Home again
One day I know
I'll feel home again
Born again
Born again
One day I know
I'll feel strong again
I left my head
Many times I've been told
All this talk will make you old
So I close my eyes
Look behind
Moving on, moving on
So I close my eyes
Look behind
Moving on
Lost again
Lost again
One day I know
Our Paths will Cross again
Smile again
Smile again
One day I hope
To make you smile again
I won't hide
Many times I've been told
Speak your mind, just be bold
So I close my eyes
Look behind
Moving on, moving on
So I close my eyes
And the tears will clear
Then I feel no fear
Then I'd feel no way
My paths will remain straight
Home again
Home again
One day I know
I'll feel home again
Home again
Home again
One day I know
I'll feel strong again
I left my head
Many times I've been told
All this talk will make you old
So I close my eyes
Look behind
Moving on, moving on
So I close my eyes
Look behind
Moving on

Donald Glover's Atlanta brought me here. The peace distilled by Kiwa sets all around a chilled atmosphere we dont wanna leave.
Thank you Mr Kiwanuka.

@TheoatStudio
@Travis Simons how and why, is it bad
@dhaloh
I remember I was really depressed during my 8th-9th grade years and I used to walk alone by the railroad tracks that lead me home. I listened to this song almost every day when I felt sad and was walking home. Whenever Michael would sing "so i'll close my eyes, look behind, moving on.." I actually closed my eyes and looked behind me and moved on. This song helped me forget about all the bad things that happened. Helped me move on from the past.
@sutejasuryakancana8537
Well glad you moving on, cause you'll never knew when the train coming when you're walking on the RAILROAD WHILE LISTENING TO MUSIC. :D
@dhaloh
@@sutejasuryakancana8537 haha no I don't do that. Walking on the railroad tracks. I walk by them on a path. Don't really understand why people walk on them and listen to music like they're chilling. Really not the best place.
@joecolclough3775
I love this song too, hope you're feeling better and you're in a good mental place right now, wish you well for the future
