The place I'm from I hold it near
Even if I haven't been there
After so many years
The buildings that had made me
Could all crumble away
But the lessons that they gave me are
Here to stay
There's still an essence of this town
In the air that I breath
There's a voice that can be found
Crying out to be free
Don't keep it locked up inside
Begging to leave
My hometown is still a part of me
In this small town we made our memories
Of growing up and getting older
Before it was time to leave
I remember all the places
And the people I would know
When life had many changes
It made it harder to go
There's still an essence of this town
In the air that I breath
There's a voice that can be found
Crying out to be free
Don't keep it locked up inside
Begging to leave
My hometown is still a part of me
My hometown is still a part of me
