Kit Chan – Home

Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There’s a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore

Chorus:
This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won’t be alone
For this is where I know it’s home

When there are troubles to go through
We’ll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That homes about its people too
So we’ll build our dreams together
Just like we’ve done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There’ll always be Singapore

Chorus:
This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won’t be alone
For this is where I know it’s home

Chorus Repeat

This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won’t be alone
For this is where I know it’s home
(For this is where I know, I’m HOME)

He

He opens his eyes and switches off the alarm before it sounds and disturbs.

He washes up and puts on clothes that let others feel confident about him. The mirror tells him its another challenging day that won’t kill him.

He leaves home and goes to the place where he gets bread for the family.

He is passionate, he is creative. He is 100 percent confident. Supportive and encouraging words are always nice.

When he is with himself, he reflects. When he is by himself, he longs for his loved ones.

What is his next big project? What will he conquer next?

He likes to be with his family, yet he had a record of working long hours.

The day turns into night. He stops all work.

He comes home, settles down, cleans up and gets changed.

He gets back into bed.

He smiles at her. He gives her a kiss.

Daddy whispers into mommy’s ear.

I love you.

She

She wakes up and rolls around in bed hoping to sleep a little more.

She washes up, prepares herself and makes herself pretty for the day. She smiles at the mirror, the mirror smiles back at her.

She starts the day and takes on the challenges the world has to offer.

She is intelligent, she is capable. She is almost 100 percent confident. Reassuring and encouraging words are always nice.

When she is with herself, she thinks. When she is by herself, she enjoys life. What will she do later? What will she achieve next?

She likes to be alone, yet she is surrounded with people who love her.

The day slows down. She starts to unwind.

She comes home, she settles down, cleans up and gets changed into comfortable sleeping clothes.

She rolls back into bed. She stretches. She makes herself comfortable and starts to doze off.

I smile at her. I give her a kiss. I whisper in her ear.

Daddy loves you.

Good night my love.
