[Intro - Fire crackle + Guitar alone, 8 bars + soft hum] Hmm, hmm... [Verse 1] Ten roads, ten names, ten stamps in my book Ten faces that taught me how to look Mama's door, desert sun, Amina's smile Papa's bike still rolling mile after mile [Verse 2] I thought home was a place with a roof and a key Turns out home was the man I learned to be Every stranger, every mountain, every sea Was just a mirror showing me to me [Chorus - Big but calm, all drums enter soft] And the fire never dies Even when the road says goodbye Hand drum beating like a second heart Telling me the end is where I start And the fire never dies [Bridge - Spoken wisdom over drums, almost whisper] I came to find the world, I found my soul I came to walk alone, I walked with many I came with empty hands, I leave with more Than any map could ever carry [Final Chorus - Stripped back, guitar + heartbeat drum only] So let the dust stay on my feet Let the sun stay in my eyes Where the river bends, where the spirit lies Oh mama, I'm still coming home But home keeps moving down the road [Outro - Fire + Guitar fade for 15 seconds] Oye, oye... the road never ends... Oye, oye... the fire never dies... [Instrumental fade]
