Home
You can use your imagination to tend to yourself
And your communities
To empower them
I've been lost and out the ether
Out of place and alone
Perpetual foreigner
Immigrant in my own home
Overlooked and displaced
Disappearing in place
Begging the world to see what it means to be
Someone like me
Moved to the coast to find spaces to call my own
Ran through lovers like someone out there could make me whole
Took a lifetime to figure it out, but now I see
There is no one and nowhere to look outside of me
'Cause home is in the friends I choose
Home is in the way I move
Home is when I'm truly not afraid to be alone
Home is taking my time
Home is a state of mind
Nothing to change or find
I'm in the right place at the right time
(Home is home)
Yeah, I grew up with no guidance
Whisked away across the sea
Holding grudges for being made to translate worlds in between
But look at all I have learned
Through the pain I can see
Everything that happened was meant to help me stand on my two feet
Moved to the coast to find spaces to call my own
Ran through lovers like someone out there could make me whole
Took a lifetime to figure it out, but now I see
I was looking for something that lived inside of me
Home is in the friends I choose
Home is in the way I move
Home is when I'm truly not afraid to be alone
Home is taking my time
Home is a state of mind
Nothing to change or find
I'm in the right place at the right time
(I'm in the right place at the right time)
Home, yeah, home
Home
And to use a life that was recognizable to me (yeah, home)
Asian-American life, was a powerful moment for me to say
This life that many people just pass on the freeway
This life gave me my imagination
We're here, we're proud
We want to honor our journey
We can't change what happens to us
But we can change how we live in order to have a successful life
And your communities
To empower them
I've been lost and out the ether
Out of place and alone
Perpetual foreigner
Immigrant in my own home
Overlooked and displaced
Disappearing in place
Begging the world to see what it means to be
Someone like me
Moved to the coast to find spaces to call my own
Ran through lovers like someone out there could make me whole
Took a lifetime to figure it out, but now I see
There is no one and nowhere to look outside of me
'Cause home is in the friends I choose
Home is in the way I move
Home is when I'm truly not afraid to be alone
Home is taking my time
Home is a state of mind
Nothing to change or find
I'm in the right place at the right time
(Home is home)
Yeah, I grew up with no guidance
