After a long day
I take heavy steps
When everyone else is asleep
I carefully open the door
The familiar scent of my mother
On top of the table
Waiting for me is a note that says
“Good job today”
Making me cry
Even if we don’t say I love you
We can clearly feel it
When I want to crumble down from the world’s harshness
My family raises me up again
When I chased faraway dreams
Everyone else laughed at me
But my dad put his hand on my shoulder without a word
Making me cry
Even if we don’t say I love you
We can clearly feel it
When I want to crumble down from the world’s harshness
My family raises me up again
When I’m tired from the weight of life
I got irritated and said things I didn’t mean
I didn’t know because of my selfishness
That they were hurting much more than me
When things are hard, close your eyes
Even if you can’t see it, you can feel it
You’ll know that the love is there
My precious family
Even if we don’t say I love you
We can clearly feel it
When I want to crumble down from the world’s harshness
My family raises me up again
They know my flaws
They know what I lack
But they embrace me with love
I can’t exchange this preciousness with anything else
And suddenly, I’m smiling
