Here I come closer home

A Keyrun Rao original

After what seemed like a lifetime or more
After knocking on heavens' & hells' doors
Never felt so alive with the heart throbbing
Dreams waiting to burst through the eyes
Thoughts pacing fast not letting me be alone
It's a crazy feeling, here I come closer home.

Could it be the stupidest thing I ever did
or the smartest I'll do, for all that we know
All the insecurities & butterflies unnerving me
Get the hell outta here & quit bothering me
I have a long way to go, sun, storm or snow
It's a nice feeling, here I come closer home.

Will I make a place for myself time will tell
But my stories & skills I will try hard sell
Will someone put money where my ink is
I don't know but that's the only way there is
The tomorrow looks full of challenges galore
It's a cool feeling, here I come closer home.

An unforgiving & unforgettable city that I love
Will it help me quickly raise over & up above
Or will I end up just another Johny in the race
With shame and remorse written across my face
The outcome of this risk doesn't bother me
It's a warm feeling, here I come closer home.

The rains would have washed away the grime
Thus would begin my life anew one more time
Have never been so enthusiastic & energetic
Something about Bombay that's so fantastic
Like a joyful son running towards his mother
It's a great feeling, here I come closer home.
