The days I've felt alone. 
And the sea, it brings me back again. 
So that I can see my wife. 
And I can see my child. 
Home, I'm home, it never changes, 
Same old faces, same old places. 

I stared into oblivion and found my home. 
I stared into oblivion, into oblivion. 

Find in me the home
That you have never known. 
Find in us the faith. 
The faith to bring you home. 

I stared into oblivion and found my home. 
I stared into oblivion and found my home. 
I stared into oblivion, and found my own reflection there. 
(reflection there) 

Home. Now that I'm coming home, 
Will you be the same as when I saw you last? 
Tell me how much time has passed? x3 

I stared into oblivion (and found my home). 
I stared into oblivion (and found my home). 
I stared into oblivion (and found my home). 
I stared into oblivion and found my own reflection there.
