I am from a place called home
But there is no sense of belonging
I feel cold.

I am from a place where crime spreads
Like an epidemic disease killing hope
Every weekend we bury the dreams of the descendants of Adam.

I am from a place called home
Where you can use education as your protection
Where ex-prisoners are treated as graduates of the streets
Violence speaks peace, solves problems
That is where I am from.

I am from a place called home
A place where nobody wants to save a soul
I am from the dry lands with no water
To feed the plants of dreams.

I am from a place
where I should feel the comfort
of seeing my dreams appear
and spread their wings to fly high.

That’s where I should call home!
