[Verse 1] Mama, my shelter in every storm, you carry the needs of everyone you love, always racing the clock, and then the celebration, a light that fills up every room you walk in. You never let me go without a thing, you gave me everything, and always a little more: if one day I'm as strong and kind as you, it's because I watched you do it every day. [Verse 2] Papa, you raised me with your gentle heart, with your example more than with your words, you taught me every beautiful thing is built up slowly, with patience, like a flower. Curious like a boy in front of something new, a fire the years have never put out, what really matters can't be owned, I learned that from you: the more I grow, the more I see you in me, and I'm proud. [Pre-Chorus] I wrote of markets and of those who break the rules, but the truest page is the one where I thank you. [Chorus] Thank you for being home, wherever I may be, for every hand that never let go of me, for every cheer at every little finish line: this degree holds your eyes right next to mine. [Verse 3] Sofia, little sister, partner since forever, we danced around our bedroom, feels like yesterday, you're the only one who knows every version of me and you choose them all, even the ones from yesterday. I'm proud of the woman you're becoming, but that little girl so full of joy will come with me wherever life may take us: Sofia, I love you, that's my story. [Verse 4] Luca, you celebrated every little step, your hand in mine and never letting go, your cheering, and the smile that walks me through my days, the honest love you put in all you do. I hope to give it back to you day after day, you're the one I know I can always count on: thank you for being home, wherever I may be, you're everything, I love you, there's nothing more to sing. [Bridge] To grandpa Rocco, grandma Maria and Rosalba, the laughter at the table and the lessons over cards, to Paola, Fabio and Delfina who made room for me, to all who watched me grow one step at a time. Ludovica, every childhood memory has your name, Elisa, all my truest thoughts belong to you, Alessia, my partner at cards and so much more: sisters that life gave me as a gift. I love you all. [Final Chorus] Thank you for being home, wherever I may be, for every hand that never let go of me, for every cheer at every little finish line: this degree holds your eyes right next to mine. [Outro] Thank you for being home, wherever I may be.
