So take me back to 2019 we were speaking to a man named gene
He was busy each week, at a college for degrees
When all he ever wanted was some peaceLiving in the US, wonder what he′ll do next, some days he just really wanna quit
But music was his passion, so suddenly imagine, that he could go on another trip
He was studying abroad, it was over in Japan
That was closer to his roots I understand
Kyoto and Osaka, he was travelling around
But really it's himself that he found
Maybe he could stay forever
Cause this is what he really really loves
From the culture and people and all of the scenes
Tell the truth this is what he really wants
But from the summer sun I′m knowing everything can change
Living in Japan there was some obstacles to face
See he needed his degree, in order to be seen
As somebody who they're willing just to take
So he's staying overseas just to finish his degrees
For the hope that maybe he can stay
And saving all his pennies and everything he gets
In the hopes that his dreams can be made
This a story of a man who was following his Dreams
A man named Gene
To go to Japan to find a little peace
And to really be free
And Gene worked hard just to make it happen
He didn′t sit back he′s taking action
Just to live a life that he imagined
This the story of gene
But there's more hurdles gene would have to face
We′re talking 2020 a pandemics on the way
And Gene couldnt move so he's staying in the states
And getting to Japan like nah he couldn′t wait
But now he's got a plan Cause he knows he′s gotta pass
His bachelors degree, save the pennies do the maths
Cause if he can save enough, get a job, he'll be back
To living his life out in Japan
And as we all know the pandemic was a struggle
Cause Gene would want to travel but he's stuck inside his bubble
Making music, playing games, he′s passing the time
Going under Dorwulf, but still on his mind
How to get back to the life he loved
Graduated in December, yeah uh huh
And now he′s gotta apply for all of the jobs
And in 2021 he started his VLOGs
Documented all his travels and documented all his work
But then he found a job as he continued on his search
July 21 he was ready to fly
Fourteen days then it's off to Sendai
And I′m glad that he made it
And now I see it in his smile
Now that Genes in Japan
He'll be happy for a while
This a story of a man who was following his Dreams
A man named Gene
To go to Japan to find a little peace
And to really be free
And Gene worked hard just to make it happen
He didn′t sit back he's taking action
Just to live a life that he imagined
This the story of gene
