Johnny ST Tai - Homecoming

What place is this that haunts my every waking dream
The echo of a memory that I can no longer resist
I've been away...for too long I have been away
Living out the life that someone else made to be
Maybe things are going good
even though at nights I feel alone
Maybe I can forget, maybe I can pretend to smile
But somewhere in the deepest sorrow
Is a child that cries for home
And even though he's never heard
The tears he shed is always felt

Long time ago, but still feels like yesterday
I left all that I had known and came to live in this foreign land
All the years hense, there were laughters and there was pain
Learning not to fall and pretending to be brave
Maybe no one ever sees
The scars that are deep inside
Cause there are things you just never share with them
Somewhere in the distant memory
There are people that I once known
Their faces are fading fast but their voices I still can hear

What place is this- I thought I'd know it still
The sound of the market place and sscents of food that I loved so much
All that is gone, replaced by a modern guise
Not even an echo can be heard from the past
The people that are walking by
Their smiles seem so cold and forced
Even those who I thought I knew them from before
One of them stopped and said
"Welcome to fair Taiwan
You may be a stranger here, but you will find there's a lot to do"
"Maybe you will like it here, and maybe you will come again"
