Longings

By Lhasang Tsering

All that I long for-

Is to return to my home,

Is this too much to ask for?

Is this too much to long for?

All that I ask for-

Is to return to my Homeland,

Is this too much to ask for?

Is this too much to long for?

All that I have always wanted-

Is freedom for my country,

Is this too much to ask for?

Is this too much to long for?

I know I have a house

– But this is not my home,

I know I have a place to stay

– But this is not where I belong.

Though I enjoy many freedoms

– I know I am not free,

Though I live in freedom

– Still I long to be Free!
