Homesick

(Awuah-Mainoo Gabriel)

Voice of a stranded life abroad, yearning to return home...no matter the situation, home is really where the heart is.

I have wandered in this wilderness for so long
This hell men call paradise,
This desert men call greener pastures,
My pallid bones seeks refuge.

I am coming home,
Tell my brothers I’m coming home
That on stones 
We may crack nuts together once again.

On this desert
I have chewed worms for so long
On this land 
I have swallowed frogs for so long
And every night they keep grunting through my nose.

I’m coming home
Tell my brothers I’m coming home
Tell my mother I’m coming tonight
In a warmth corner,
Tell my mother to lay my mat.

This boy depicts the heroic attitude of Africans.

Stranded

By Taimoor Havok

This song is about feeling lost and alone but still having a tiny ray of hope because you believe in yourself. It is also about a relationship that's hanging by a thread and is about to end but there is still hope.
