YEARNING FOR HOME
L.A Awoyinka, P. McGrew, R. Krumery
Eniola’s Song (ASCAP) / (ASCAP) / (ASCAP)

HOOK
I’m yearning for home
My heart is filled with longing
For somewhere to belong
I’m yearning for home

VERSE
Many a mile away
From my distant home
Far from familiar faces
And all I’ve ever known

Chasing dreams, taking chances
I needed to grow
Learning much from falling down
Staying true to my calling

HOOK

VERSE
Such scenes and sights I’ve found
In my adopted home
Their ways and their manners
Far removed from my own

Distant pilgrims and restless natives
Side by side, how they roam
The vacant stares of the broken hearted
Make me weary of love

HOOK
BRIDGE
La dee, da, da, da da.........(x4 times)

Chorus to fade
