I was lost now I’m found
Headed out make haters bow down
Listen, we been living in this land ever since we were children
One of us had to make a difference
Some of us had stand out some just didn't
Some of us left, ended up dead, and it went back and forth
Subarctic middle of Quebec, still represent the north
There was an idea, sprout here around years you was caught in fear
Of being stuck without a boss career
Or they'd think you don't belong if you disappeared
So I know it's hard to move on , ‘cause what you lived is all gone
Too used to wait you call home, so most of us will hold on
But I feel like I'm destined for greatness
Won't achieve it if I can't escape this
Same goes for all of my natives, remember
You doing it for the nation, straight out the Rez
Where I miss old homemade fry bread,
Drove even though we never owned a license
Bonfire when the night ends, that's where the heart is
Our land won't be forgotten, for you we tried our hardest
Won't let them leave it rotten, we all wanna make a change
But for that I gotta leave this place
So to my people I'm sorry for leaving
But I'll be back as long as I'm breathing.
(Wherever I roam)
Forever this is my home
(Or where my tribe goes)
Forever this is my home
(I know)
That we takin’ back what we own
(Wherever I roam)
Forever this is my home
(Or where my tribe goes)
Forever this is my home
(I know)
That we takin’ back what we own
You see it deeply
Neglecting yourself and the past ain’t helping
I know it’s hard but you gotta hold on and just keep moving
You would have to leave
You would have to maintain that name
That you were given nomadic and running
Out of da reservation becoming the best
I the field but still feel like you nothing inside.
When you packed up and left everything behind
You were saying never mind but you still feel lonely
And only want the family life and the only way to make it
Is to live apart that’s where it all
Starts when ya thinking to much and reminiscing about the good times
That you had and only wanna
Get out now away from the danger
Away the alcohol and all stranger's perform in different places
But you still feeling alone and only wanna get back home
Getting educated elevated to a new beginning
Now you know you gotta make a living
Gotta sacrifice some of da happiness and get with it.
When you missing the reservation
The thought of your grandmother cooking is making u home sick
When every single family member calling you wanting you back home
But u can’t quit can’t do it when you feeling the urge to just fall
And just give all up you got remember one thing
Is that time doesn’t freeze you gotta be one that keeps moving on
(Wherever I roam)
Forever this is my home
(Or where my tribe goes)
Forever this is my home
(I know)
That we takin’ back what we own
(Wherever I roam)
Forever this is my home
(Or where my tribe goes)
Forever this is my home
(I know)
That we takin’ back what we own
I was lost now I’m found
Headed out make haters bow down
