[Verse 1]

I saw the sun rising over the Pacific

On a 737 out of Singapore

I wasn't missing anything specific

But I needed just a little more

I don't claim that it is my hope

Its history's black and that I know

But it's the only place that I call home

And it's got a hold and won't let go

[Chorus]

It's bigger than a name

Or any political gain

And when the dust's kissed by the rain

That smell'll take away just about any pain

[Verse 2]

It's my earliest memory

Took care of me through my teens

Learned to drive through its veins

Watching the sun set over endless planes

[Chorus]

It's bigger than a name

Or any political gain

And when the dust's kissed by the rain

That smеll'll take away just about any pain

[Outro]

I saw the sun rising over thе Pacific

On a 737 out of Singapore

I wasn't missing anything specific

But I needed just a little more

I don't claim that it is my hope

Its history's black and that I know

But it's the only place that I call home

And it's got a hold and won't let go
