You with the silky hair
and a troubled look in your eyes
I see you drifting
all alone between the crowds
you look at me with surprise

I once too
Was like you
A stranger

A stranger,
I was a stranger
in my own home

My eyes close
as the sweltering air
embraces me
and i inhale deeply
i inhale deeply
my eyes still closed
the feeling,
it takes me back to memories
i never had

I open my eyes
lost,
i'm lost,
i'm lost between my own people
and the heat of the sun is
burning my skin
my gaze turns upon the skies
oh, these clear blue skies
and again
i look into your eyes

I'm home,
I'm home

a smile appears on my face
i smile and breathe deeply
i smile to my people
to my people
to whom i am just
another stranger

Yes you!
don't flee just yet

I am home
home is inside me

smile, show your teeth
like me, you too
are home
just let yourself
breathe
