This Spring I studied abroad in Tanzania, Africa. As a part of the program I stayed eight nights in a remote village called Itete with a host family. Though we struggled with language and cultural barriers lasting bonds were formed. By the last day leaving Itete felt like leaving New York. In a way my Elsewhere became anything but that- it became home. This song was written two weeks before my stay and it could not have recorded in a more apt place.
Elsewhere (lyrics)
Elsewhere has always been out there
But never somewhere I call home
But I’ve been tryin’
Been runnin’ and flyin’
To get where I can find a way to go
But oh, I’ve got this restless soul
No more moving slow
Take me to Elsewhere
I’m not leaving without thought
Know that I’m safe, I’ve got a plan
It’s just been too long
Living without song
Living without a pleasant melody
But oh, I’ve got this restless soul
No more moving slow
Take me to Elsewhere
I won’t forget the ones I love (x3)
But oh, I’ve got this restless soul
You know I’ve got to go
Go to Elsewhere
