The story behind the song
This song is for my mum, from her daughter. She put a note in my lunchbox on my first day at a new school. I pretended it was embarrassing, but I kept it. Now I call her before every new beginning. I want her to hear that the courage she gave me is still with me.
The song began with these details:
- A handwritten note saved from a school lunch
- Humming while folding laundry in the evening
- Recognizing her daughter’s footsteps at the front door
- “Take the kind road, even when it is longer”

I found a note inside a lunchbox
The paper soft along the fold lines
Home still sounds like your voice
Knowing my steps at the doorway
