No Matter Where You'Re From
So, I’m staying at a place where lots of people come and go.
Visitors from all over the world pass through for a short stay.
I can’t get over the multitude of accents that I don’t even know.
There are so many languages bouncing off the walls every day.
I get to learn a little bit about places that I’ve never been
From people that are away from home for the very first time.
They tell me no matter where they go, they make good friends,
And every country has good people and those who prefer crime.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my new friends from afar,
It’s that we’re all the same no matter where we come from.
It’s not important what language you speak, only who you are,
That defines your character as a person, wherever you call home.
