Lyrics
喧囂的人群 加深我的疲倦
像一片落葉 不知何處是終點
靈魂在飄盪 尋一個港灣
我心中有個遙遠的家
記憶裡只剩下模糊的光華
依稀聽見 有個聲音在呼喚
卻看不清 回去的路在何方
追逐過幻影 以為那是方向
飲盡了苦杯 品嚐世間荒涼
雙手緊握著 卻依然是空盪
才承認自己 是迷途的羔羊
我心中有個遙遠的家
記憶裡只剩下模糊的光華
依稀聽見 有個聲音在呼喚
卻看不清 回去的路在何方
這世界的繁華 終將成為過往
為何我仍在這裡 流浪 心慌
那呼喚聲 穿過人海茫茫
彷彿在說 孩子 回來吧 不要再徬徨
我心中有個遙遠的家
這一次那光芒變得清晰啦
我終於聽懂 那溫柔的呼喚
求你引領我 走上回家的方向
我心中有個遙遠的家
這一次那光芒變得清晰啦
我終於聽懂 那溫柔的呼喚
求你引領我 走上回家的方向
回家的方向…
帶我回家…
Lyrics (English)
Neon of the city lights up my solitude;
the noisy crowds only deepen my fatigue.
Like a fallen leaf with no certain end,
my soul keeps drifting, longing for a harbor.
There’s a distant home within my heart;
in memory only a faded gleam remains.
I faintly hear a voice that calls my name,
yet I can’t see where the road home lies.
I chased the mirage, thinking it was the way;
I drank the bitter cup, tasted barren days.
My hands clenched tight—still empty after all;
at last I know: I’m a wandering lamb.
There’s a distant home within my heart;
in memory only a faded gleam remains.
I faintly hear a voice that calls my name,
yet I can’t see where the road home lies.
All this worldly splendor soon will pass;
why am I still here—afraid and lost?
That calling voice cuts through the endless crowd:
“My child, come home. Do not delay or doubt.”
There’s a distant home within my heart;
this time the light grows clear and strong.
At last I understand that gentle call—
Lead me, Lord, onto the path back home.
There’s a distant home within my heart;
this time the light grows clear and strong.
At last I understand that gentle call—
Lead me, Lord, onto the path back home.
The way back home…
Carry me home.
