From the composer:
In 2024, I commissioned a poem for a song that would later be called I Am Home. Inspired by the universal need for belonging, I turned to my dear friend and fellow composer, Hannah Jensen, to craft a text that would reflect this profound theme. Though we grew up in very different places—Hannah in Kansas and I in a small town south of Mexico— our childhoods were bound by similar joys, struggles, and needs.
I Am Home speaks to the search for a place where one is welcomed, seen, and valued. For many, this journey is not an easy one. It is marked by uncertainty, by the weight of leaving behind the familiar, and by the hope of building something new. Finding belonging is not just about geography- it is about the people who open their hearts, the voices that say, “You are welcome here.”
The world is vast and ever-changing, yet our longing remains the same: to find a home where we are safe, where we are treated with dignity, and where we can contribute to something greater than ourselves. No matter where our journey begins, may we all find a place where we truly belong.
