Stranger in foreign sky

Lyrics

Verse 1
I stepped off the airplane with trembling hands,
Left my rice fields, my gentle homeland.
The bamboo whispers still call my name,
But here the streets speak a tongue I can’t claim.

Pre-Chorus
The neon lights shine cold and wide,
I hold my dreams, they’re all I’ve inside.

Chorus
In this foreign land, I sow my grain,
Though the soil is hard, I’ll bear the pain.
Lonely nights, the tears may fall,
But hope is stronger, it answers the call.
Through every storm, I’ll learn to stand,
A farmer’s heart in a foreign land.

Verse 2
Customs are rivers I struggle to cross,
Each misstep reminds me of what I’ve lost.
The hills of my youth seem far away,
But I’ll carry their strength to face each day.

Pre-Chorus
Every prayer I send back home,
Becomes the wings that help me roam.

Chorus
In this foreign land, I sow my grain,
Though the soil is hard, I’ll bear the pain.
Lonely nights, the tears may fall,
But hope is stronger, it answers the call.
Through every storm, I’ll learn to stand,
A farmer’s heart in a foreign land.

Bridge
One day my children will know this song,
That I left my village to make us strong.
From the rice fields to this city’s sky,
I’ll plant my roots and let them rise.

Final Chorus
In this foreign land, I sow my grain,
Though the soil is hard, I’ll bear the pain.
With every sunrise, hand in hand,
I’ll build a home in this foreign land.
