Lyrics

New city, new street, new place
I walk outside with a tired face
New signs, new words, I don't know
But I keep walking, I keep my goal
One small bag on my back
Old memories inside that bag
My old room, my old street
Still in my mind when I go to sleep
People talk, I don't understand
I try to learn, I try to stand
Every morning starts again
New city, but the same old pain
I left my home, I left my past
I knew the road would not be fast
I had no gold, I had no fame
Just one dream and a different name
They see my face, they don't know me
They see a stranger in the street
They don't know what I left behind
They don't know what's inside my mind
I miss the voices from my home
I miss the nights I wasn't alone
Now every corner feels the same
I miss the people who knew my name
But I can't live inside the past
Some doors close, some roads don't last
I have to build a different life
I have to learn to face the night
New language, new job, new days
Sometimes I feel lost in many ways
But every mistake can teach me more
Every hard day makes me strong
I write my name on a new page
I feel the fear, I feel the rage
But I don't let the fear decide
I keep my old world deep inside
I can change my clothes and style
I can live in another mile
I can learn a brand new way
But my roots will never fade
I don't hate the place I knew
I just needed something new
Sometimes leaving is not goodbye
Sometimes you leave so you can try
My mother told me, "Don't forget
The place that made you who you are"
I carry every word she said
Like a little light inside my head
Some nights I sit beside the window
Watching cars and lights below
Everybody has a place to go
I'm still trying to find my road
I think about the kid I was
Dreaming big without a plan
He didn't know about the pain
He only knew he had to stand
Now I know the world is hard
Dreams don't come without a scar
You can fall, you can lose
But you still have a right to choose
I choose to fight, I choose to stay
I choose to build my life this way
No easy road, no perfect start
Just two strong feet and one brave heart
Maybe one day they will know
How far I walked, how much I grew
Maybe one day I'll look behind
And see the road I left behind
I won't forget the streets I knew
Or every person who helped me through
I won't forget the tears I cried
Or all the nights I stayed awake
I got a new name in a new town
But I never let my old one drown
Two worlds living inside of me
Two parts of one identity
I am not lost, I am between
The old life and the life I've seen
I'm not running from who I was
I'm building who I'm gonna be
New name, new road, same soul
New dream, new life, new goal
I don't need to hide my past
I need to make the future last
If they ask me where I'm from
I'll tell them where my heart comes from
If they ask me who I am
I'll say I'm still the same old man
Not old in years, but old in pain
I learned from every loss and change
I learned that home is more than walls
It's every memory when darkness falls
So I walk on through the night
Looking for a little light
I don't know where this road will end
But I know I won't break again
New city
New name
New life
But the same heart
Beats inside me
I left my home
But I didn't leave myself
