Home: for Maulidurrasul

HOME

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?
"Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm,
I've got to go home

Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
That this is not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
I still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

I was having my breakfast this morning at Bandar Sri Damansara's McDonald and suddenly this song was played by their own internal radio. Sung by Michael Bubble, as melancholic as it was, it brought my memory back to my "kampung".

It is going to be a long weekend with Monday being the Maulidurrasul. Most student will surely grab this opportunity to go "balik kampung" and meet their loved ones (whoever they might be).

There is a score who can't go home despite the long weekend. Those who are preparing for their final examination and those who are too far away from home. Whatever you do throughout this weekend, have a safe journey and come back in one piece. Those preparing for your examination, best wishes of luck.

Those who "balik kampung", send our warmest regards to your family. Have your meaningful celebration of Maulidurrasul.
