[Verse 1: CHRIS, CHRIS’S MOTHER ]
First rode a plane when I was nine
Mom left that piece of shit for good
In summer days, she’d always say:
“Life’s better from where we stay”
[Verse 2: CHRIS]
But winter would come
I’d stare outside
She’d see the longing in my eyes
And over there, I never belonged
[Verse 3: CHRIS]
By the time I turned eighteen
Had a one-way ticket back here
I saw it pictured in my mind:
The perfect homеcoming fantasy
[Pre-Chorus: CHRIS]
So I take the trips, the shots to provе
The promise of this island dream
Where a welcome is a warm embrace
As if I never left this place
[Chorus: CHRIS]
I’ve been searching for so long
For a place where my feet can touch the ground
Tired of going from stop to stop
Looking for a reason to stay
I think I found a place to land
[Verse 4: CHRIS]
But stories only last a day
And people go their own way
And when the sun begins to burn
You wake up to a nightmare
[Verse 5: CHRIS]
It’s so much worse than what’s on the news
It’s chaos you don’t even get to choose
Well maybe this is not home
[Verse 6: CHRIS]
Along the school hall, I was playing my little game
This guy, out of nowhere, asks to play along
One player to two
And then we were four
[Pre-Chorus: CHRIS]
From games, to grades, to highs and lows
I was a stranger
Now a “hu u?” no more
[Chorus: CHRIS]
I’ve been wandering for so long
For a place where my feet can touch the ground
Tired of going from stop to stop
Looking for a reason to stay
I think I found a place to land
[Bridge: CHRIS]
My little dream is that
I wanted to change this world
But the dream got bigger
‘Cause we changing this world together
So go ahead and cringe
Let me spell “LOL,” “LMFAO”
But I won’t be ashamed to let you know
That this dream will take a stand
‘Cause you are part of where I land
[JOSH]
Sabi ko sa statement ko, “I wanna leave this place better than how I found it. I wanna change the world for good!” Fuck, I wanna become an environmental lawyer, ‘cause I know that’s the place where I can make the biggest impact. Sige. I can do something. Si Torran, mahaba yung sinulat niyan!
[TORRAN]
Sige na, pagbibigyan na kita. Napaka-clingy mo, pre! Fulfilling the family legacy naman talaga, pero… Gusto ko talaga ‘to dahil…
[JOSH]
Dahil…?
[TORRAN]
I want justice to prevail
[JOSH]
Ano? Hindi ka marinig ng korte suprema!
[TORRAN]
I want to prevail sa hinayupak na bansa na ‘to!
I hate you, Chris. Sana alam mo yun
[Chorus: CHRIS]
We have wandered for so long
Out feet, they finally touch the ground
Our dreams won’t wait too long
Now I know our reasons to stay
At last, we found a place to land
