[English]

How did I get here?

I'm so scared, lost in mid-air

I feel, feel so small

Like no one sees me at all

Now, I don't understand this world

A world with so many open spaces

But nowhere that I fit

Where do I belong?

I'm out here like a kite just floating

All alone under the clouds

All alone without a sound

I know where I come from

But I don't know where I am going

Will I ever make it home?

Will I ever make it home?

Just like a kite out a window

I'm gonna go where the wind blows

I'm gonna find my way home

Where do I belong?

Oh-oh-oh-oh

All alone under the clouds

All alone without a sound

I know where I come from

But I don't know where I am going

Will I ever make it home?

Will I ever make it home?

Will I ever make it home?

Make this place home
