Rain \u2013\u00a0<\/span>
\nFalling all day.\u00a0<\/span>
\nI am on the train-\u00a0<\/span>
\nFeeling my soul-\u00a0<\/span>
\nSeeing my world.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThis might be another year-\u00a0<\/span>
\nTaken away from me again-\u00a0<\/span>
\nWithout telling a word.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But I am the traveller-\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe newest gypsy-\u00a0<\/span>
\nWandering around the world\u00a0<\/span>
\nFinding my way home\u00a0<\/span>
\nWhether it\u2019s snow or rain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Heading for my endless destiny-\u00a0<\/span>
\nLeaving behind for two days-\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe forgotten Uyghurs\u2019 country.\u00a0<\/span>
\nHumming my miserable tune-\u00a0<\/span>
\nNot I am yet reaching my home\u2026\u00a0<\/span>
\nHalf way for my journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But busy with-\u00a0<\/span>
\nFinding a way-\u00a0<\/span>
\nA solution-\u00a0<\/span>
\nFor your darkness-\u00a0<\/span>
\nFor your misfortune-\u00a0<\/span>
\nTo bring you a bright light.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So my heart with you-\u00a0<\/span>
\nOh my fathers\u2019 Uyghur land.\u00a0<\/span>
\nIt needs an age-\u00a0<\/span>
\nTo break the thickness of your horizon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And so I am \u2013\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe wild storm.\u00a0<\/span>
\nHovering above my ocean.\u00a0<\/span>
\nBut I am \u2013 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nFar far away again.\u00a0<\/span>
\nFrom the desert-\u00a0<\/span>
\nFrom the mountain.\u00a0<\/span>
\nFrom my fathers\u2019 Uyghur land.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
