I Am Coming Home Songtext
von Jen Cloher

Spent my whole life trying to find the parts that were missing
What looked like direction was guessing
What I achieved was all that defined me
Never knowing what stood behind me

Breathe it in, breathe it in, night jasmine calls the summer toward us
I have been taken care of without invitation
What I owe can never be repaid to the people of this land
Rivers, oceans, and big sky above us

And so I am going home
I am going home
I am going home
I am going home


(Toitu)

(Toitu)

Remember, remember who I am, kaitiaki
That I come, that I come through a line of Wāhine Toa
Toitu te whenua, toitu te tangata
Toitu te whenua

I am coming home
I am coming home
I am coming home
I am coming home


Kei te hoki au ki te kāinga
Kei te hoki au ki te kāinga
Kei te hoki au ki te kāinga
Kei te hoki au ki te kāinga
