Home We Built

Kaori MUKAI

A Long way home

Where he built up for his family

It’s a house he won

With his hard work back in 80s

An old folk song

Of his favorite from car radio

One day morning

Late in summer, in my memory

We miss the days

When you were there

​Raise our glasses to him

At home he built

Admiring his glory

Scratch of pillar

And sketch on the wall

We love them all

It's all of our story

Still at home

Feel I catch a glimpse of him

From a chair he liked

In front of TV in his work room

I know he’s not here

But I know he is still near

Always I'm with his smiles

In my memory

​We miss the days

When you were there

Raise our glasses to him

At home he built

Bringing back his memories

All the faces

Gathered here today

Is the proof he was loved

In his history

♫

Ah~

Raise our glasses to him

At home he built

Admiring his glory

Scratch of pillar

And sketch on the wall

We love them all

‘cause it’s our story

Raise our glasses to him

At home he built

Bringing back his memories

All the faces

Gathered here today

Is the proof he was loved

In his history
