Hometown

Wee little town with hearts of gold

Wee little fire of mine started out there

Tended by very few, took on some heat and size

Took it as I went, time went on too fast

Oh so beautiful my town

Open grass in all directions

One big mountain to the north

One big mountain to the south

Oh so beautiful my town

The people are friendly and kind

Traffic? I’ve never been in one when I was in my town

Toddlers playing outside their homes with no worries

Oh so beautiful scene to watch and be a part of

There’s a temple at the north edge

Take your offerings there and spin the wheels

Take your hat off when you enter

Take a bow when you leave there

North of that is a forest

Where you can camp with a little fire

Wild berries and wild birdies

Napping is the beeeest out there

I heard it’s not so small anymore

I haven’t been back since that very day

Oh so beautiful my town

Owe my childhood to that land

Tangled in these adventures I took

Time keeps passing by unnoticed

Take it slow as I keep on

Taming this beast of mine inside

Learn what I want, learn what I can

Leave out all the rest I don’t want things

Love with how I can the people I meet

Left with no regret in my soul

Life just keeps on going as usual

Learning to keep in flow of things

Lone roads and more roads that meet up

Leave out all the rest I hope you have memories of me

Might not be done with this journey

When it’s time I’ll go back to my town

May not be soon as I thought

When it’s time it will be THE TIME!

Might not be the best thing to wish for

I’ll put out this fire where it was made

Making sure I keep it bright for now

I’ll take it where it belongs

Oh so beautiful my town

Everything is pristine and precious out there

Oh so beautiful my town

Erdenet is where I was born to this world!
