Home

so right now, i am at HOME. I haven't really written anywhere besides sitting behind my laptop and bumping selected songs that i find inspirational. however, in the week i have been here there has been nothing but inspiration and last night or i guess now it would be two nights ago this piece came to me. I am having trouble channeling however because i am out of my element so i feel like it won't be me but i thought to write it anyhow. It might have to be re-written in an entirely new form in a couple of years but enough said. Given where i am at, i call this Home.

Home
It’s been so long, I have been gone so long
It’s surreal, sometimes I look at you, and I don’t believe I am back
See, I am looking into your eyes, and I see my future.
All these years, I thought I would find me, if I left,
Only to realise that I left what will define me… at home.
I am caught where I don’t belong and I know you hear the pain in my song,
Please be my Moses in love and lead me away from Pharaoh’s land,
Liberate me, liberate my body, liberate my heart, liberate my soul,
Like his rod, the love that is to be between us will split open the sea of unrequited love,
Lead me across and bring me home,
To a land where we will leave behind a legacy of love,
Where our sons and daughters will be kings and queens in love,
This might sound so strange to you but you always cared for me like no other,
As if you a were a fountain of love in which I fell and almost drowned,
And now…..i am drunk, I am intoxicated by you,
And if you don’t believe, listen and listen clear,
I believe in a greater power, it is said that God is love,
Between us there is love, so between us…… there is God,
So I believe, I believe there is not enough time in this life to experience all our love,
So I look forward to the after life so we can continue in love,
And it will not be without its flaws but I believe,
I believe we will prevail because it will simply be a love worth working for
I want to love you in every way shape and form
I just wan love you, let me love you,
I want to love you in our mother tongue so it feels natural to you and me,
Min kpa bo fai, hani ma sumo bo, (I’m begging you, let me love you)
Min tawo ni ma sumo bo (I want to love you)
I ke itswi fee baa sumo bo. (I will love you with all my heart)
Iya kpa shi, shi agbenee in ba shia, (I have gone roaming and now I am home)
Ofaine, hani ma sumo bo (Please, let me love you)
