about

Fun fact: I first heard this song in my hotel room in Dhaka.

lyrics

We came
Into each others' lives
One granite day in June
Seven thousand miles
From when your own
Began

And though
You wore your place of birth
Forever on your sleeve
I never hatched
Homecoming
As a plan

Across the seas to Bangladesh
Across the earth and sky

CHORUS
Beneath our toes
The earth shall spin
I'll hold you close
Like a second skin
And show you all
You've never known
Welcome home

Behold
A world where sky meets sea
And sand will ever stretch
Where the mangroves
And the marshes
Hug the coast

Behold
A land of heat and light
Two hundred million footsteps
Falling to the earth
And leaving
Like a ghost

Across the seas to Bangladesh
Across the earth and sky

CHORUS

And watch the smoke the sun eclipse
From shirts and shells, and shoes and ships
All tumbling from the belt - go forth, you're sent
While deep inside, amidst the rattle
Workers work, hemmed in like cattle
Toiling, toiling for their daily cent

I bought you
From a bargain rack
One granite day in June
Seven thousand miles
From where your maker
Dwelt

And never stopped to think
Until this day
Of where you came
Where your stitcher
Played the hand
That he was dealt

Across the seas to Bangladesh
Across the earth and sky

CHORUS x 2
