Verse 1: Male Rap

Chiku built a house where the tall pines grew,

Then the admin crew came crashing through.

Reset his world, every room gone flat,

He stared at the screen, said, “You did that?”

He grabbed the old computer, anger running hot,

Out the window it flew—he forgot the drop.

Dad heard the crash and came storming in,

“Come back here, son, this won’t happen again!”

Pre-Chorus: Female

He ran past the fence, past the edge of town,

With the whole wide world weighing him down.

Chorus: Male and Female, Harmony

Run far, run long, through the cold and the rain,

Till the road turns around and you’re home again.

You can lose what you built, you can mend what you broke,

There’s a light in the doorway, a hand through the smoke.

Come home, Chiku, let the hard days end,
