Lyrics

I was sitting on the beach
Watching the sea turtles
Bobbing in the waves

For the first time in a long time
My home was where I stand
For the first time in a long time
This is where I wanted to stay

I wouldn’t say
I made friends there
But I loved the time with the people

For the first time in a long time
My home was where I stand
For the first time in a long time
This is where I wanted to stay
