I expected this but not so soon I was just finally enjoying being me Leaving here is going to be like leaving behind a huge part of me This is where I was born Where I grew up , where I first experienced true love Where I first experienced heartbreak This is where I became Kay-Ann But part of me is happy I'm going to begin a new life A new life full of possibilities Surely I'll miss my homeland I'll miss the food My dear ackee and saltfish I'll miss the sights Devon House and Emancipation Park I'll miss the people My friends from school and past loves But migrating is all about starting anew Starting that new chapter in the book of me.

Leaving Jamaica
I expected this but not so soon I was just finally enjoying being me Leaving here is going to be like leaving behind a huge part of me This is where I was born Where I grew up , where I first experienced true love Where I first experienced heartbreak This is where I became Kay-Ann But part of me is happy I'm going to begin a new life A new life full of possibilities Surely I'll miss my homeland I'll miss the food My dear ackee and saltfish I'll miss the sights Devon House and Emancipation Park I'll miss the people My friends from school and past loves But migrating is all about starting anew Starting that new chapter in the book of me.
