<\/div>\n

Recently we moved to a new place,
\nAnd being new anywhere is very hard.
\nBut it’s even harder when you don’t know
\nThe language they are speaking all the time.
\nThis problem can make you feel very alone
\nWhen you don*t understand what they say at all.<\/p>\n

So maybe you can listen and watch them all,
\nFrom you own little corner of this new place.
\nA person goes by with a dog walking alone,
\nYou wave to say hello, even doing that is hard,
\nBecause you know it might be just a matter of time,
\nBefore they find out what you don*t know.<\/p>\n

But for now you a safe, cause they don’t know
\nThat the words they speak you don’t know at all.
\nBut you know it will show the very first time,
\nThey try to converse with you in this new place.
\nBut you get some nerve and tell yourself; it’s not hard,
\nAnd you try to overcome the feeling of being alone.<\/p>\n

So again you sit on the porch all alone,
\nAnd start to get comfortable with the area you know,
\nAs that person comes out the house slamming the door hard.
\nAt this point you hope they don’t notice you at all,
\nAnd you lucky, as they start working around their place,
\nThey stop that and start washing their car this time.<\/p>\n

So you relax and get comfortable again over time,
\nSo music starts to play, but it makes you feel more alone.
\nAs it does not use your words, but music from this new place.
\nSo you convince yourself, it is OK cause one day I will know
\nAnd maybe then I won’t feel like an outcast at all,
\nBut for the moment this is all very hard.<\/p>\n

Suddenly the music is so very loud and hard,
\nSo you go into the house for some quiet time
\nBut the music is blaring and inside is not quiet at all
\nBut you can’t tell them to lower the music, cause you’re alone
\nAnd nothing of the language do you know.
\nSo all you can do for now just wait and put up with this place.<\/p>\n

It is so hard, to be on you’re own and alone,
\nBut over some time, you will come to know,
\nThat you’re not at all – alone in your new place<\/p>\n
