Somehow It Became My Home | A Song About Finding Home | Country

Описание: “Somehow It Became My Home” is a heartfelt tribute to the kind of journey that changes everything. What starts with a one-way ticket and nervous excitement turns into a year filled with laughter, hockey games, mountain air, sunsets in Hawaii, and a family that slowly becomes your own.

The song captures the quiet transformation from stranger to sister, from guest to daughter. It’s about belonging where you never expected to, about love that crosses oceans, and about the people who make a foreign place feel like home.

For everyone who has ever left home to find themselves — and found a second family along the way.


Lyrics:

[Intro]
Heart racing at the airport gate,
Suitcases packed, couldn’t sleep for days,
One way ticket to America,
A brand new life so far away.
Only knew your voices through the phone,
Didn’t know what waited on the other side,
Walking out of integration doors,
And there you stood — arms open wide.

[Pre-Chorus]
Megan, Jack and the twins,
Smiling like I already belonged,
In that moment something changed,
I knew right then I’d found my home.

[Chorus]
I was nervous, I was scared,
Didn’t know what I would find,
But the second that I saw you there,
You made a stranger feel like family in one night.
It was more than just a year,
More than dreams I’d ever known,
It started with a one way ticket,
And somehow it became my home.

[Verse 2]
Megan, you were everything
A host mom could ever be,
Always listening, always there,
You made it safe to just be me.
And Luke, you stood so tall and strong,
With that quiet kind of pride,
But hockey broke the walls between us,
And you were always on my side.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every game, every ride,
Every “you’ll be alright,”
You believed in me so much,
Even on my hardest nights.

[Chorus]
I was nervous, I was scared,
Didn’t know what I would find,
But the second that I saw you there,
You made a stranger feel like family in one night.
It was more than just a year,
More than dreams I’d ever known,
It started with a one way ticket,
And somehow it became my home.

[Bridge]
Chloe, my beautiful, brilliant girl,
The sister I wished for all my life,
Ski days and shopping center dates,
Laughing until it turned to night.
Tyler, hockey expert king,
Car games and Risk battles won,
You always made me laugh so hard,
Every single day was fun.
Jack, at first we took it slow,
A little distance in your eyes,
But day by day you let me in,
And love grew in the quiet times.
And twins — my little sunshine crew,
Trampoline jumps, hot tub nights,
Always laughing, always bright,
You filled my world with light.

[Verse 3]
Hawaii sunsets, mountain air,
Hockey games and dinner talks,
So many memories everywhere,
In every room, on every walk.

[Final Chorus]
It was more than just a year,
It was a dream I got to live,
You gave me love so freely,
More than I could ever give.
Now I’m miles away from you,
But my heart still feels your touch,
My second family forever —
I love you and I miss you so much.

[Outro]
One way ticket, tearful goodbye,
But this will never be the end,
America gave me more than a year —
It gave me family, it gave me friends.
