[Intro]
er, ahhhh…
(Comin’ back now)
Sola, la, la
(Solastalgia)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Still here somehow)
[Verse 1]
The river’s thinner
(Than I remember)
The summers longer
(Each September)
The fields I ran through
(Burned to ember)
But I’m still standing
(I still remember)
[Refrain]
Homesick
(Missing the music)
Though “You’re right here”
(Is what I hear)
Homesick
(For how it used to feel)
But home is changing
(And so are we)
[Bridge]
Unaware
(I was already there)
The loss in the air
(The weight we share)
er, ahhhh…
(Comin’ around now)
Sola, la, la
(Not backing down now)
[Verse 2]
You said it’s weather
(Not the design)
You said it’s cycles
(It will be fine)
But children notice
(The warning signs)
They read the science
(Between the lines)
They feel the fracture
(Of trust and tone)
They carry questions
(We should have owned)
The moral injury
(Is overgrown)
When home keeps shifting
(Beneath their bones)
[Refrain]
Homesick
(Missing the music)
Though “You’re right here”
(Is what I hear)
Homesick
(For a steady sky)
But we’re not powerless
(If we decide)
[Bridge – Turning]
Who’s to blame
(We know the name)
Delay and greed
(Disguised as need)
While children plead
(For grown-up deeds)
Recognize
(We set the pace)
Recognize
(We shape this place)
Responsibility
(Is not disgrace)
It’s how we come home
(It’s how we face)
[Chorus – Lift]
Coming home
(Is not retreat)
Coming home
(Is change on our feet)
Home is not memory
(Alone in the past)
Home is the future
(We build to last)
Homesick
(But not alone)
We can restore
(What we have known)
Agency
(Seeds are sown)
We come back stronger
(We come back home)
[Outro]
er, ahhhh…
(Comin’ at ya)
Sola, la, la
(Solastalgia)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(But listen closer)
The music’s faint
(But it’s not gone)
It’s in the will
(To carry on)
If home is hurting
(We don’t withdraw)
We heal the breach
(With what we saw)
Homesick…
(And wide awake)
Coming home
(Is what we make)
