BAWA wants to thank local band 'Kum & Friends (Feat: J-Thag)': Dewa Kum(vocals), Joerie (Rapper), Dewa Aboe (Guitar), Dewa Keduk (Guitar), Wira (Bass), Gusti (Jeembe) and Dewa Alit (Keyboard) for their amazing song 'Take Me Home'.

They performed it live at BAWA's annual Bali Dog Idol Contest at Bali Bird Park on April the 3rd. Because Kum & Friends love Bali dogs so much and wanted to support BAWA, they donated their valuable time to write and perform this song, 'Take Me Home'.

Kum said the song was a dedication to BAWA and all the dogs out there looking for someone to love them. He also dedicate this song to his dogs Brem and Molly (Rest In Peace) and Max who always wait for him at home and gave him inspiration to make this song.

"I think the lyrics for this song is sort of what my dogs and other dogs would love to say if could ever talk like a human," Kum said.

The kids and adults loved it so much that everyone got up to sing and dance, it made the day very special. Thank you so much Kum & Friends!

TAKE ME HOME (Lyrics) 

 Woof   woof   woof   woof  woof  woof  2x

I could be the one, who’ll give you company

I could be the one, who'll make you (a little bit) happier

You can just talk to me, anytime you're down…  anytime you're feeling down

You might just want to say something… out of the blue ... out of the blue

(And) If I couldn't understand your words...

You just need to train me ... You just need to show me

No matter the weather, we live here together

For ever and ever, so let’s make it better

One world, one life, one love

Be good to everyone and save some love for dogs

*(Chorus)

Take me as your friend, I'm gonna be one of your best friends

Take me to your home, I’m gonna be always there for you

J-Thag

Ok, my real name is J but today I will change

I take the place of dog Kain, and explain what he has to say

The first thing he says, is all the best

I suggest, we’ll be friends

But there is one thing I don’t understand

You are good to life, man and plants

But why don’t you all give dogs a chance?

Let’s all shake hands, a dog is a man’s best friend

In the end, I hope it’s the right thing you choose

If I’m bad, it’s only because I’m confused

If you just teach me rules and treat me good

I’m really sure, we’ll be good

If you try, and treat me right

I will be loyal and stay by your side

I don’t want to miss my chance and stay alone

So I kindly ask, please take me home

* ( Chorus)

To wait for you, while you're gone away from home

To always greet you, when you're coming home

To walk with you anytime, anytime you want me to

I'm gonna be there for you my friend

Gonna be there for you my friend (Take Me Home!)

If you try, and treat me right

I will be loyal and stay by your side

I don’t want to miss my chance and stay alone

So I kindly ask, please take me home

No matter the weather, we live here together

For ever and ever, so let’s make it better

One world, one life, one love

Be good to everyone and save some love for dogs

(Take me home, take me home …)
