HomeTown, Lily Amis feat Thir13een
HomeTown is dedicated to anyone who is suffering in silence while feeling unwelcomed, excluded, lost, and lonely in a foreign country far away from home and family. The moment when you are forced to leave your birth town, you become homeless.
And the non-ending desperate search for a hometown overshadows your entire life. Especially when you end up in a foreign, narrow-minded country in which traditions, hospitality, generosity, compassion, and kindness are nothing but meaningless words, and you have to constantly fight against bullying, discrimination, and racism to survive!
GERMAN:
HomeTown ist allen gewidmet, die in Stille leiden und sich in einem fremden Land, weit weg von Heimat und Familie, unwillkommen, ausgeschlossen, verloren und einsam fühlen. In dem Moment, in der man gezwungen ist, seine Geburtsstadt zu verlassen, wird man Heimatlos. Und die nicht enden wollende, verzweifelte Suche nach einer Heimat überschattet das ganze Leben. Vor allem, wenn man in einem fremden, engstirnigen Land landet, in dem Traditionen, Gastfreundschaft, Grosszügigkeit, Mitgefühl und Freundlichkeit nichts weiter als bedeutungslose Worte sind und man ständig gegen Mobbing, Diskriminierung und Rassismus kämpfen muss, um zu überleben!

Song Lyrics:
********************************************************
Das Gefühl von Heimat, Schutz und Zugehörigkeit
ist was ich mir wünsche schon seit einer Ewigkeit
Kann meine Sehnsucht nicht mehr verbergen
Will weiter fliegen über alle Berge
Today is one of those days, when I need to escape
As I sit on this bench right next to a lake
I’m looking for a hometown
Ever since I left my birth town
Feeling unwelcomed right from minute one
Some thirty years ago, unseen and unheard
Wasted precious years in a crowded town
As empty and loveless as a ghost town
Heimat, Heimat, Wo ist meine Heimat?
I live my sweet dream and desire
Open my wings and visualize myself flying higher
Like a little bird from town to town
See myself living in a magical Hallmark movie
All year round in a magical town, a magical place
Where neighbors don’t live past each other
But together looking after one another
Like in a heartwarming fairytale where traditions still matter
Hometown, Hometown, Where is my hometown?
I keep asking all year round
Trapped in a bitter reality in a foreign country
Missing the smell of freedom, love and family
Heimat, Heimat, Wo ist meine Heimat?
I live my sweet dream and desire
Open my wings and visualize myself flying higher
Like a little bird from town to town
Heimat, Heimat, Wo ist meine Heimat?
I live my sweet dream and desire
Open my wings and visualize myself flying higher
Like a little bird from town to town
My dream of belonging is killing me
The desire of togetherness is burning me
Don’t wane wake up and live in reality
My search goes on and on and
I keep dreaming of MY hometown
