Home
Look at me, just this once!
My skin is not the same as yours
But it still feels the same way.
My face is not the same as yours
But it still works the same way.
My body is not the same as yours
But it still moves the same way.
[Refrain 1]
As I'm born here why can't you see?
I'm just the same as you!
Even though I may not look like you,
In my heart I still belong here.
[Refrain 2]
You say 'You should go back'
But I only know life here.
How could I ever feel alive again?
I hold my chopsticks the traditional way
I don't know how to use a fork or a spoon
And you tell me 'You are a GAIJIN'?
Yes, of course, it's certainly obvious
My parents are not from here.
But they chose to live here!
Doesn't that make them Japanese in their hearts?
Don't give me all those glares!
Don't ignore my problems!
Don't believe in prejudices without confirming them!
[Refrain 1]
As I'm born here why can't you see?
I'm just the same as you!
Even though I may not look like you,
In my heart I still belong here.
[Refrain 2]
You say 'You should go back'
But I only know life here.
How could I ever feel alive again?
[Refrain 1]
As I'm born here why can't you see?
I'm just the same as you!
Even though I may not look like you,
In my heart I still belong here.
[Refrain 2]
You say 'You should go back'
But I only know life here.
How could I ever feel alive again?
My heart beats like yours,
My legs move like yours,
My ears hear like yours,
My skin feels like yours!
So aren't we all the same?
We should be open-hearted
And receive our brothers.
I don't want to say:
'The world is a big family.'
Because there are still too many
Who live unworthy of this title
And those who have no choice,
That's why we need to care
To ease the life of our neighbours!
[Refrain 1]
As I'm born here why can't you see?
I'm just the same as you!
Even though I may not look like you,
In my heart I still belong here.
[Refrain 2]
You say 'You should go back'
But I only know life here.
How could I ever feel alive again?
[Refrain 1]
As I'm born here why can't you see?
I'm just the same as you!
Even though I may not look like you,
In my heart I still belong here.
[Refrain 1]
As I'm born here why can't you see?
I'm just the same as you!
Even though I may not look like you,
In my heart I still belong here.
[Refrain 1]
As I'm born here why can't you see?
I'm just the same as you!
Even though I may not look like you,
In my heart I still belong here.
[Refrain 2]
You say 'You should go back'
But I only know life here.
How could I ever feel alive again?
How could I ever feel alive again
Without my home?
'Home is where your heart lies'
Don't ever forget that!
