Nepali Roots

[Verse] From Kathmandu skies, where the valleys kiss the mist, Dreams of foreign lands, always top of the list, Left the Himalayas ancient shadow in the rear view, Landed in the concrete jungle, brand new. [Verse 2] Nepali noodles in the streets, taste never fades, Mount Everest, high hopes, chasing new shades, Family photos in my wallet, pockets heavy, Culture in my bloodstream, Nepal keeps me steady. [Chorus] Missing momos and mountains 'neath stars, In a land of neon lights, reminiscing's never far, From yak wool sweaters to city’s harsh spar, Nepali heartbeats, echo through the scars. [Bridge] Yak bells ring in dreams, just round the bend, Waking up in a world where the stars never blend, Golden temples in my mind, never offend, From Pohkara lakes to where new roads extend. [Verse 3] Education exchanged for this urban grind, Memories soak through the New York night, Nepali tales woven in every behind, City life's cool, but roots never unwind. [Chorus] Missing momos and mountains 'neath stars, In a land of neon lights, reminiscing's never far, From yak wool sweaters to city’s harsh spar, Nepali heartbeats, echo through the scars.
