I Want to go Home (Malaysia)

Really I miss being in Malaysia. It was late evening the other day. I went to a beach nearby my place. Saw this military chopper going home after search and rescue mission for the Muscat tropical cyclone Gonu which happen here at my place on the 6th June 07. The original was quite okay, but I thought to give it a little touch up for the ‘feel’.

Far, far above in a bright Muscat sky,
Streaking toward home at a speed so high,
With loved ones waiting just minutes away,
Our work is done, we’re going home today.

We’ve traveled far with knowledge our quest.
How could we have known or even guessed?
We’ve circled the earth and given our best,
But soon we’ll face our final test.

Pushing the limits of time and space,
We all know it’s a risky race.
We’ve gone far above the mountain peak,
Living a dream that few dare seek.

And now we’ve seen the other side,
A longer trip but what a ride.
With loved ones waiting just minutes away,
Our work is done, we’re going home today.
