I wish that clouds could hold me up

Like I thought as a child growing up

I wish I could sound as soothing as the rainfall
D F#m
But I am only a drop from the storm
A F#m E
Feel like a tourist out in the country
Bm A E
Once this whole world was all countryside
A F#m E
Feel like a tourist in the big city
Bm A E
Soon I will simply evaporate

They took the strings up north, the drums down south

After they crossed Afghanistan a long time ago

Feel like a teardrop streaming off of your chin

Can they possibly try, I demand to know why they would doubt you

In this land, a thousand generations

Everywhere I go I'm a tourist

But if you stay with me, I'll always be at home
