Homesickness…

By Lena Trondson • December 31, 2008

I am so homesick right now that it feels like my heart is about to explode…I miss my family, my friends and myself… I miss my traditions, my familiar places, my language, my food, my memories…I know I have my wonderful daughter and husband here in the US but sometimes I feel like I need my roots…

“Ive been feeling kind of restless
Ive been feeling out of place
I can hear a distant singing
A song that I cant write
And it echoes of what Im always trying to say

Theres a feeling I cant capture
Its always just a prayer away
I want to know the ending
Things hoped for but not seen
But I guess thats the point of hoping anyway

Of going home, Ill meet you at the table
Going home, Ill meet you in the air
And you are never too young to think about it
Oh, I cannot wait to be home

Im confined by my senses
To really know what you are like
You are more than I can fathom
And more than I can guess
And more than I can see with you in sight

But I have felt you with my spirit
I have felt you fill this room
And this is just an invitation
Just a sample of the whole
And I cannot wait to be going home

Going home, Ill meet you at the table
Going home, Ill meet you in the air
And you are never too young to think about it
Oh, I cannot wait to be going, to be going home

Face to face, how can it be
Face to face, how can it be
Face to face, how can it be

Cuz this is just an invitation
Just a sample of the whole
And I cannot wait to be going home”
