So there I am

Sittin' cramped up in my seat

Half asleep, lookin' out the plane window

Just lookin' at the clouds

And all of a sudden they part

And there she is

So I'm comin' down, lookin' over the city

All the familiar places I can see

And I've seen it a million times before, but

I don't know, somethin' 'bout that moment

It never looked so good, ha

Touch down and I hit the ground runnin'

February 12, 2008

Make my way off the plane, wait around for my luggage

Hit the gate, see my dad, drop my bags and I hug him

Feel the sun's warmth as we leave the airport

Catchin' up on all that's happened while I've been away

And he tells me with a great big smile on his face

That finally the king is dead and everything must change

And as we cruise through the alleys and the streets

I'm struck by the beauty of familiarity

Big things, small things, all things in their place

Man, I swear it's like I left just yesterday

But it seems like an age since my team parted ways

And we each headed off into the wide blue yonder

I can't wait to see 'em 'cause it's true what they say

'Bout absence and the way it makes your heart grow fonder

The next day and we head to the park for celebrations

'Cause everybody's got them good vibrations

Givin' out pounds and there's hugs all 'round

'Cause we all so excited to be reunited

They say there's no place that's quite like it

And if there is, well, I'm yet to find it

So we party all night to the break of dawn light

In the place that I call my own, it feels good to be home

See, I've searched the corners of the earth

And this is what I've found

No matter where I go, I carry where I'm from

So raise your hands up to the sky now

For the ground beneath your feet

This will always be the place where I belong

See, I've searched the corners of the earth

And this is what I've found

No matter where I go, I carry where I'm from

So raise your hands up to the sky now

For the ground beneath your feet

This will always be the place where I belong

So now it's one year later on the way to good vibes

Valentine's Day, 2009

It's kinda crazy how the calendar's days can fly by

When you watchin' fireworks light up the night sky

When I arrive this year I use a different gate

'Cause the Double S is playin', so we chillin' backstage

And I make it in just in time to see 'em rock the house

One Dayers in the place and we turn the party out

And it make me so proud when I look in the crowd

And see friends and family representin' the hometown

People that I grew up with, little brothers and sisters

It's like the whole neighbourhood was right there with us

And it seems like every year the crew just gets bigger

New names and faces, watch as the plot thickens

New chapters in the story of the streets that raised me

The streets that made me the way I am today

See, this year me and Adit been all over the country

And got love for every spot from Byron Bay to Bunbury

But there ain't nowhere that I'd rather rest my feet

Than in the inner west side of the S-Y-D

So when I'm a grown man with a home loan plan

And I wanna settle down and own my own land

No doubt in my mind where I'ma put down my roots

In the place that I call my own, that's the truth

See, I've searched the corners of the earth

And this is what I've found

No matter where I go, I carry where I'm from

So raise your hands up to the sky now

For the ground beneath your feet

This will always be the place where I belong

See, I've searched the corners of the earth

And this is what I've found

No matter where I go, I carry where I'm from

So raise your hands up to the sky now

For the ground beneath your feet

This will always be the place where I belong
