(ORIGINAL LYRICS - preserved exactly as provided)
(Verse 1)
I’m packin’ up my dreams, puttin’ miles beneath my feet,
A new road’s callin’ softly, where the sky and future meet.
But every step I’m takin’, I’m carryin’ the crew,
’Cause home is in the moments that I spent with all of you.
(Pre-Chorus)
Bansé laughin’ loud in every memory,
Neydialkel keepin’ faith when life was testin’ me,
Mat Neymar runnin’ wild like the wind so free,
Yeah, you’re all a part of me.
(Chorus)
Though I’m goin’ to the university,
You will always walk inside my heartbeat.
Badul, Mahoo, Dimino, Jabay—
You shaped my world in every way.
Love and good life, you helped me find,
No matter where I go, you’re never left behind.
We’re far in distance but close in soul—
My friends, you make me whole.
