“After leaving my hometown, I deeply miss it and recall its warmth and familiar beauty.”
The tone is nostalgic, heartfelt, and poetic, filled with imagery of home, memory, and longing.
?? Title: “Back Where I Belong”
(Verse 1)
I left with a suitcase and trembling hands
Chasing dreams in far-off lands
But every mile just pulled me tight
To the place that held my light
The streets here shine, the towers rise
But I still see those simple skies
Where morning breeze would kiss the trees
And time would float so soft, so free
(Chorus)
I miss the roads that knew my name
The old front porch, the window frame
The scent of rain on hometown ground
The voices that could wrap me round
A mother’s call, a neighbor’s smile
The warmth that stayed through every mile
Though I’ve been gone for far too long—
My heart still lives
Back where I belong
(Verse 2)
Lanterns swaying on the silent lane
Children running after trains
That narrow bridge, that old red gate
Still waiting at the edge of fate
And in my dreams, the mountains call
Like whispering ghosts behind the wall
Even the wind still seems to know
The boy who left so long ago
(Chorus)
I miss the fields where silence grows
The crooked fence, the evening glow
The teapot steaming on the stove
The stories only homefolk know
The lullaby of distant chimes
That rang through all my younger times
Though I’m out here chasing songs—
I sing them all
Back where I belong
(Bridge)
No skyline here can match the grace
Of morning light on that old place
No stranger’s cheer, no city sound
Can match the peace I haven’t found
(Final Chorus)
I miss the hills, the winding stream
The rooftop stars, the quiet dream
The worn-out paths that knew my feet
Still echoing in memory’s beat
And when I close my eyes each night
I see that town in softer light
Though I’ve been gone, I’m never gone—
My soul still lives
Back where I belong
(Outro)
One day I’ll walk that road again
With nothing but the autumn wind
And every step will feel like dawn—
Returning home,
Back where I belong
