Lyrics

Plane ticket trembling in my hand
Mama's crying softly by the gate
Little brother waving with his school bag
I try to smile, but my whole heart shakes
Ocean breeze still carries through my mind
Sweet lilikoi and warm island rain
Every little thing keeps pulling me back
As the plane carries me away
I close my eyes and see that shoreline
Getting smaller through the clouds
I may be leaving for a better life
But part of me is staying now
I'm gonna miss my home and the mango tree
All the talk story, everybody know me
Sunday rice with gravy on the plate
And the backyard music playing late
I'm gonna miss the beach, cruising with my friends
Surf all day, never wanting it to end
Though I'm far away, my heart won't let go
One day, one day, I'm coming home
City lights shine, but my spirit feels cold
Snow on the ground, my breath turning white
Now I'm working every hour they'll give me
Trying to help my family back home
Western Union waiting for my turn
My very first check trembling in my hand
Mama's voice breaks when the phone lights up
We're proud of you, do the best you can
She says the mango tree get fruit again
And the old gate still need fixing too
Everybody asking when you coming home
Like you only been gone a day or two
I'm gonna hold my home inside of me
Keep those rubber slippahs, days and memories
Every face and every road I know
Lives inside me everywhere I go
Though I'm far away, my heart won't let go
Still my roots run deeper than I know
No matter where this winding road may lead
One day, one day, I'm coming home
No matter how far I may go My heart will always lead me home
