Counting Back to Korean

There aren’t too many stars to count
If you believe in where you’re going
The exercise of flying back to Seoul
Tallying suns out the airplane window
One by one you re-keep track
Red eyed going back to the Fatherland
Where you come home
Look like the rest and related to many
Each time you fly
With this tally of stars passing by
You kickstart the you you’ve nearly lost
Being away since the last time you were here
There’s excitement in this exercise
Methodically counting
While returning to see them all again
Each of your 52,000,000 family members
Stars for every second passing
Wondering what good things might happen
The miles melting while you go back just in time
To where you will always count
In the universe of your Korean family
