Woes of an Immigrant © Chuck LeMonds 2017

I’m a stranger here
And so far away from home
Nothing went the way that I
Was hoping it would go
My days are full of routine
But at night I’m bursting at the seams.

All I’ve ever loved
Is an ocean away
I never thought I’d miss the bread
Made fresh every day
And all my loved ones
I’m missing you, more than words can say.

Am I losing all that I have
Cherished, and has made me who I am
I’m holding onto something,
But I fear that I will soon be washed away.

I hear my mother singing
In the kitchen, as I lie in my bed
The smell of coffee cooking
And my grandpa he‘s talking to himself
I want to pack my things
I’m out of here, I’m gone
Praying for good weather
So I can make my way back home.

I’m a stranger here
And wish that I could fly
Because I know I’ll be a stranger here
Until the day I die
And words are all I have
To remind me of where I was born.
