Find My Home

Verse 1

F C G Am

Crossing from sea to sea, expectations fell on me

F C G

Trying to make my own waves by jumping in

Got my college degree, it wasn’t what I hoped to be

And the water is so cold that I froze

Little diaspora, may you bloom with flora

Cut my teeth in lecture notes and Fool’s gold

Fsus2 Csus2 Fsus2 C

Oh mother, I wander

F C Am G

Give me a map and I won’t go so far

I just find my way back to the start

These roads aren’t that very long

If you been there once then you’ve seen them all

And I’ll find my home

I’ll find my home

F C G Am

She was from a distant land, I could never understand

F C G

Though it was her love that raised me right

Every moment was sweet, now I see the harvest she reaped

Oh the winds labored to get her there

When she finally set sail, home was lost to no avail

Every spoonful bite is family rite

Fsus2 Csus2 Fsus2 C

Oh mother, your not far now

G Am F C

So please don’t go so far, where the riptide tears us apart

I’ll sing Amazing Grace, to sooth you in the darkest place

There’ll be rivers to cross, but trouble never gets you lost

Oh I am sufficiently calm, onto this promise, dear, hold on, hold on, hold on
