🌤️ About the Song

"Home in My Heart" is a heartfelt song I wrote for my family back home in Jember. It captures the quiet ache of distance and the warmth that love carries even across miles. This piece reminds me that no matter how far I go, their love remains my compass and my comfort.

🎶 Lyrics

Home in My Heart

Beneath the city’s fading light,
I whisper names that once held me tight.
Mom’s soft voice across the line,
Still carries warmth through space and time.

This longing grows so silently,
Like morning dew that waits for me.
Though miles apart, though oceans wide,
You’re still my home deep inside.

Dad, does the evening rain still fall?
Do you still wait by that porch at all?
Your daughter’s learning how to stand,
But her heart still reaches for your hand.

This longing grows so silently,
Like morning dew that waits for me.
Though miles apart, though oceans wide,
You’re still my home deep inside.

Dad, does the evening rain still fall?
Do you still wait by that porch at all?
Your daughter’s learning how to stand,
But her heart still reaches for your hand.

This longing grows so silently,
Like morning dew that waits for me.
Though time may teach me to be strong,
My family’s still my sweetest song.

And when the world feels cold and strange,
I close my eyes, your faces stay.
In every breath, in every part,
You’ve built a home within my heart.

Though distance keeps our hands apart,
Your love still lives inside my heart.
I may be far, but never gone,
For home is where my heart belongs.

💌 Meaning Behind the Lyrics

This song speaks about the bittersweet feeling of being far from home, how distance teaches strength but never replaces warmth. Each verse mirrors the small moments that connect me to my family: a mother’s voice, a father’s quiet presence, and the sense that love travels beyond space and time. It’s a reminder that no matter where life takes me, home will always live within my heart.
