So there I am, sitting cramped up in my seat* Half asleep, looking out the plane window Just looking at the clouds All of a sudden they part and there she is So I'm coming down looking over the city All the familiar places I can see I've seen it a million times before but I don't know Something bout that moment Never looked so good, hah
Touch down and I hit the ground running February 12 2008 Make my way off the plane, wait around for my luggage Hit the gate, see my dad, drop my bags and I hug him Feel the sun's warmth as we leave the airport Catching up on all that's happened while I been away And he tells me with a great big smile on his face That finally the king is dead and everything must change And as we cruise through the alleys and the streets I'm struck by the beauty of familiarity Big things, small things, all things in their place man I swear it's like I left just yesterday But it seems like an age since my team parted ways And we each headed off into the wide blue yonder I can't wait to see 'em cause it's true what they say Bout absence and the way it makes your heart grow fonder The next day and we head to the park for celebrations Cause everybody's got them good vibrations Giving out pounds, and it's hugs all round Cause we all so excited to be reunited They say there's no place that's quite like it And if there is, well I'm yet to find it So we party all night to the break of dawn light In the place that I call my own, it feels good to be home
[Chorus: (2x)] See I've searched the corners of the earth And this is what I've found No matter where I go I carry where I'm from So raise your hands up to the sky now For the ground beneath your feet This will always be the place where I belong
[Solo:] So now it's one year later on the way to Good Vibes Valentine's Day 2009 It's kinda crazy how the calendar's days can fly by And you watching fireworks light up the night sky When I arrive this year I use a different gate Cause the double S is playing so we chilling backstage And I make it in just in time to see 'em rock the house Onedayers in the place and we turn the party out And it make me so proud when I look in the crowd And see friends and family representing the hometown People that I grew up with, little brothers and sisters It's like the whole neighbourhood was right there with us And it seems like every year the crew just gets bigger New names and faces watch as the plot thickens New chapters in the story of the streets that raised me The streets that made me the way I am today see This year me and Adit been all over the country And got love for every spot from Byron to Bunbury But there ain't nowhere that I'd rather rest my feet Than in the inner west side of S-Y-D So when I'm a grown man with a home loan plan And I wanna settle down and own my own land No doubt in my mind where I'ma put down my roots In the place that I call my own, that's the truth
