About

Gentle acoustic strumming on guitar and mandolin drives this intimate folk ballad, paired with organic male vocals that weave narrative lyrics of family heritage and homesickness. Simple harmonies lift the chorus, evoking raw emotion through live instrumentation including fiddle and harmonica for an authentic, stripped-down production. The track captures a reflective journey back to roots with warm, evocative melodies.

Lyrics

Whispers on the wind Calling me back home Taught me how to survive Rivers run deep We can't deny Mama's lullaby Still echo in the night Oh, carry me home Where the heart finds its peace Through the storm it won't cease Run deeper than the soil Beneath my feet In this wide world Home's the song I repeat Home's the song I repeat When the stranger starts But the wind keeps on blowing The firelight dances Pulling at my scars Every step away Just makes me who we are Oh, carry me home Where the heart finds its peace Through the storms and the muds Run deeper than the soil Beneath my feet In this wide world Home's the song I repeat One day I'll lay down these burdens Turn my face to the hills Where the wild winds have blown No more wandering soul No more being alone In the arms of the land I'll reclaim what I've grown I'll reclaim what I've grown I'll reclaim what I've grown Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh
