Oh the people I've met Are the wonders of my world

Artist- Adele
Song of the day- Hometown Glory

Being back in my hometown in Texas I find this song has been playing in my head as a constant soundtrack. Though much of "finding myself" and where I "belong" feels more at home in a big city, walking around my small town and hanging out with people from my past that I feel now so far away from, I become reminded of how close in my heart they still remain. It's the pieces of my heart I left in Texas and still live on when I'm not here. it makes me happy and sad at the same time. Making it hard not to stay and also wondering how much of my heart I have trickled around the country, around this world. It's drops of my heart I've left in the people that have crossed my path and parts of them I keep close to me wherever I go. These people I met really are the wonders of my world, it's what keeps it beating. So to all of the wonders in my world and yours this one's for you.



I've been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I could call?"
"No and thank you, please Madam. I ain't lost, just wandering"

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides

Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met

Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world
