(Harry Clarkson - Jeff Clarkson - Peter VanSteeden)
When shadows fall and leaves whisper the day is ending
My thoughts are ever wandering home
When crickets call my heart is forever yearning
Once more to be returning.
When the hills can see the settin' sun
Stars begin to spark one by one
Nights covers all and though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dream will ever take me home.
Nights covers all and though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dream will ever take me home...
Yes, I made the choice.
For Papa I will stay,
But I don’t deserve to lose my freedom in this way
You, monster
If you think that what you’ve done is right
Well, then you’re a fool
Think again
Is this home?
Is this where I should learn to be happy?
Never dreamed that a home could be dark and cold
I was told
Everyday in my childhood
Even when we grow old
“Home will be where the heart is.”
Never were words so true.
My heart’s far, far away
Home is too.
Is this home?
Is this what I must learn to believe in?
Try to find
Something good in this tragic place
Just in case
I should stay here forever
Held in this empty space
Oh, but that won’t be easy
I know the reason why
My heart’s far, far away
Home’s alike.
What I’d give to return
To the life that I knew lately
But I know that I can‘t
Solve my problems going back
Is this home?
Am I here for a day or forever?
Shut away from the world until who knows when?
Oh, but then, as my life has been altered once
It can change again
Build higher walls around me
Change every lock and key
Nothing lasts, nothing holds all of me
My heart’s far, far away
Home and free.
Why me Lord what have I ever done to deserve even one of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord what did I ever do that was worth loving you
Or the kindness you've shown
Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed you so help me Jesus my soul's in your hand
Try me Lord if you think there's a way I can try to repay all I've taken from you
Maybe Lord I can show someone else what I've been through myself
On my way back to you
Lord help me Jesus...
Jesus my soul's in your hand
As the dawn sun breaks over sleepy gardens
I'll be here to do all things to comfort you.
And though I've been away
left you alone this way
why don't you come awake
and let your first smile take me home.
The shadows in the park were longer yesterday
and Lady Luck stood still, waiting for the kill.
And on a jumbo ride
over seas grey, deep and wide
I flew for heaven's sake
and let the angels take me home.
Down steep and narrow lanes I see the chimneys smoking
above the golden fields ... know what the robin feels
in his summer jamboree.
All elements agree
in sweet and stormy blend ---
(Charlie Smalls)
Think of home
Home
When I think of home
I think of a place where there's love overflowing
I wish I was home
I wish I was back there with the things I been knowing
Wind that makes the tall trees bend into leaning
Suddenly the snowflakes that fall have a meaning
Sprinklin' the scene, makes it all clean
Maybe there's a chance for me to go back there
Now that I have some direction
It would sure be nice to be back home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up
Time be my friend, let me start again
Suddenly my world has changed it's face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space
And yet I've watched it growing
If you're list'ning God
Please don't make it hard to know
If we should believe in the things that we see
Tell us, should we run away
Should we try and stay
Or would it be better just to let things be?
Living here, in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But it taught me to love
So it's real, real to me
And I've learned
That we must look inside our hearts
To find a world full of love
Like yours
Like me
Like home...
Well, I've been a traveler most of my life
Never took a home, never took a wife
Ran away young and decided to roam
Wanna see my mama and my daddy back home
Home, where the river runs cold
The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold
Home, where the trees grow tall
The home fires burn, the whippoorwill's call
I remember stories that my daddy used to tell
My eyes would get big and his chest would swell
I could sit for hours and listen with glee
As he'd tell of how he lived when he's a boy like me
Home, where the river runs cold
The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold
Home, where the trees grow tall
The home fires burn, the whippoorwill's call
Well, mama dear, mama, do you still love your boy
After all my roamin' can I still bring you joy
Mom sent a letter, got it not long ago
Well, I've been a traveler most of my life
Never took a home, never took a wife
Ran away young and decided to roam
Wanna see my mama and my daddy back home
CHORUS:
Home, where the river runs cold
The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold
Home, where the trees grow tall
The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call
I remember stories that my daddy used to tell
My eyes would get big, and his chest would swell
I could sit for hours and listen with glee
As he'd tell of how he lived when he's a boy like me
REPEAT CHORUS
Well, mama dear, mama do you still love your boy
After all my roamin' can I still bring you joy
Mom sent a letter, got it not long ago
Into Your courts I run with praises
Flowing from my heart
Every day I wake I sing Your song
It's the anthem of my life
I want to spend my days
In Your presence, Lord
Bowed before Your throne
In the house of God
Is where I find my peace
It's where I find my
Home is heaven
One day Lord, I will live
In Your courts, You'll find me
In worship at Your feet
Hide me now
In the shadow of Your wings
Where I will be
Where I will be
Your love is all I need
So desperately I have sought Your face
I know You hear my every cry
And petition that I make
Jesus, oh You are my treasure
When I think of home
I think of a place where there's love overflowing
I wish I was home
I wish I was back there
With the things I've been knowing
Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning
Suddenly the raindrops that fall have a meaning
Sprinklin' the scene, makes it all clean
Maybe there's a chance for me to go back
Now that I have some direction
It sure would be nice to be back home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up
Time be my friend, let me start again
Suddenly my world has gone and changed its face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space
Yet I've watched it glowing
If you're listening God
Please don't make it hard to know
If we should believe in the things that we see
Tell us, should we try and stay
Or should we run away?
Or would it be better just to let things be?
Living here, in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy, oh...
But it taught me to love
So it's real, real, real to me
And I've learned
That we must look, look inside our hearts
To find a world full of love
Like yours, like mine
In a small town down in Georgia over forty years ago
Her maiden name was Musik till she met that Jackson boy
They married young like folks did then, not a penny to their name
They believe the one you vow to love should always stay the same
And on the land his daddy gave him, a foundation under way
For a love to last forever or until their dying day
They built a bond that's strong enough to stand the test of time
And a place for us to turn to when our lives were in a bind
And they made their house from a tool shed
Granddaddy rolled down on two logs
And they built walls all around it
And they made that house a home
And they taught us 'bout good living
They taught us right and wrong
Lord there'll never be another place
In this world I'll call home
My momma raised five children, four girls then there was me
She found her strength with faith in God and love of family
She never had a social life, home was all she knew
Except the time she took a job, to pay a bill or two
My daddy skinned his knuckles on the cars that he repaired
He never earned much money but he gave us all he had
He never made the front page but he did the best he could
And folks drove their cars from miles around
To let him look underneath the hood
And they made their house from a tool shed
Granddaddy rolled down on two logs
And they built walls all around it
And they made that house a home
And they taught us 'bout good living
They taught us right and wrong
Lord there'll never be another place
In this world I'll call home
No there'll never be another place
We'll wander off through the dead of night
'Cause wasteland of shattered souls
Warm by the firelight
I peer into the darkness alone
As the Indian summer that I remember
Settles on my bones
Cracked and weary
I asked for direction home
Home
Let the words spill from my mouth
Love
Love is everything I want
I'm one of many more to come
Love
Love is everything I want
Crossroads outside of town
The heartbroken faces charred
The city lights, so far and dull
Turning left, I know it's time
With an urgent wind upon my rolling heels
To carry me along
My face aghast
That I turn to ruins past and home
Home
Let the words spill from my mouth
Love
Love is everything I want
I'm one of many more to come
Love
Love is everything I want
Wander off in the dead of night
Past terrors and broken homes
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Of riverbanks and catacombs
Sleep into the guillotine
Always lived this live alone
Lay down beneath the law
Cry out I know it's time
Love is everything I want
Love is everything I want
Love is everything I want
Love is everything I want
Every time I try to tell you how I feel inside
I always make the same mistakes
Tie myself in knots
Sometimes even make you cry
When all I ever want to say
Is nobody else in the whole wide world
Makes me feel this way
Nobody else in the whole wide world
Takes my breath away
Makes me feel so strange inside
Dazed confused and starry-eyed
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel the wrong way round
Inside out and upside down
I couldn't love you more
And every time I try to tell you what I really mean
Nothing seems to come out right
End up murmuring foolishly
It makes me want to scream
How I get so stupefied
There's nobody else in the whole wide world
Makes me feel this way
There's nobody else in the whole wide world
Takes my breath away
Makes me feel so strange inside
Open mouthed and mystified
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel so upside down
Muddle-headed round and round
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel so strange inside
Dazed confused and starry-eyed
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel the wrong way round
Inside out and upside down
I couldn't love you more
What's your name?
Do you live around here?
Don't I know your face?
You say I've been a stranger for too long
I didn't even notice I was gone
And I wanna come back home
Show me the way to make a start
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth that I need to know
There's a million places I can go
But without you it ain't home
It ain't home
Please say, what I need to hear you say
Say I'm thoughtless and foolish
But say It's not too late
Now I don't know exactly where we go from here
But tryin' is the only way to know
And I wanna come back home
Show me the way to make a start
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth that I need to know
There's a million places I can go
But without you it ain't
It ain't home, yes please believe me
Don't give up 'cause we're half way there
We're at the crossroads in the middle
Between hope and between despair
All I need is some direction
Let me know you'll wait for me
Where you are is where I'll be
Show me the way to make a start, oh
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth that I need to know
There's a million places I can go
But without you it ain't
Show me the way to make a start
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth that I need to know
There's a million places I can go
But without you it ain't home
"Home" by Iggy Pop
from the Album "Brick by Brick"
(c) 1990
I work so hard, man, so don't trip
me up
shakin' a leg like that tail of the pup
i'm payin' dues till i register heat
sure hope i don't end up on the
street
home, boy
home, boy
everybody needs a home
home, boy
home, boy
everybody needs a home
so many people rise and fall
who's lookin; aget you at all?
stangers in paradise down at the
mall
home, boy
home, boy
everybody needs a home
home, boy
home, boy
everybody needs a home
home
home
everybody really needs a home
home home
everybody needs a home
the life we live is tricky tricky
i love my home, and my family
who's gonna love you when you
montain gets steep
(Chorus)
Go ahead roll it up and pass it round
Cause lately's been a whole lot of bullshit going down
A lot of soldiers aint make it through this year
So lets just celebrate that we still here and
Whoooooooaa
Never leave me alooooooooone
Tell em holla at ya boyyy and cause I'll be comin home
I'll be comin home
Ooh, never leave me alooooooooone
Tell em holla at ya boyyy and cause I'll be comin home
I'll be coming home
My homie called me like what up man
Not from Florida but what up fam
It's been a whole lot of hatin again
And if they hatin on me damn what up then
I met this girl when I was three years old
and what I love most she had so much soul
She said excuse me lil homey, I know you don't know me but uh my name is wendy (windy) and yo, I like to blow trees
and from that point I never blow her off
niggas come from out of town I like to show her off
They like to act tough she like to tore em off
and make them straighten up they hat cuz she know they soft
and when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown
and at nighttime her face lit up, so astounding
I told her in my heart is where she'll always be
She never mess with entertainers 'cuz they always leave
She said it feel like you walked and drove on me
knew I was gang affiliated got on t.v. and told on me
I guess that's why last winter she got so cold on me
She said Ye, keep makin that platinum and gold for me
but if you really cared for her
Then you would have never hit the airport and followed your dreams
Sometimes I still talk to her
but when I talk to her it always seem like she talkin bout me
She said you left ya kids and they just like you
They wanna rap and make soul beats just like you
but they just not you
and I just got through
Talkin bout what niggas tryin to do just not new
Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong
I guess you never know what you got till is gone
I guess that's why I'm here and I can't come back home
and guess when I heard that when I was back home
In the interviews I'm representin you makin you proud
Shoot for the stars so if you fall you land on the clouds
Jump in the crowds
Spark ya lighters and wave 'em around
If you don't know by now I'm talkin about Chi-town
(Chorus)
Go ahead roll it up and pass it round
Cause lately's been a whole lot of bullshit going down
A lot of soldiers aint make it through this year
So lets just celebrate that we still here and
Whoooooooaa
Never leave me alooooooooone
Tell em holla at ya boyyy and cause I'll be comin home
I'll be comin home
Ooh, never leave me alooooooooone
Tell em holla at ya boyyy and cause I'll be comin home
I'll be coming home
I've been a traveler the most of my life
I never took a home I never took a wife
Ran away young and decided to roam
But now I'd like a see my Mama and my Papa back home
Well a home where the river runs cold
The water tastes good the winters ain't cold
A home where trees grow tall
The home fires burn the whippoorwills call
Well I remember stories that my Pappy used to tell
Yeah my eyes would get big his chest would swell
I could sit for hours and listen with glee
As he'd tell of how he lived when he's a boy like me
Well a home where the river runs cold
The water tastes good the winters ain't cold
A home where trees grow tall
The home fires burn the whippoorwills call
Now Mama dear Mama do you still love your boy?
After all my roamin', can I still bring you joy?
Mom you sent a letter got it not long ago
And you said to come home 'cause you're missin' me so
A home where trees grow tall
The home fires burn the whippoorwills call
A home where the river runs cold
The water tastes good the winters ain't cold
A home where trees grow tall
Side of the road, I stopped and
Picked up the pieces of your car
You were just standing, speechless
Knowing you'd never travel far
That's what you do when someone's given up on you
And that's when I knew that I was giving up and giving in
That's when I knew where I was
That's when I knew that I was home
Stuck in the middle of the road
For better or worse, we compromise
You may have won my hand, dear
But it was the consolation prize
That's when I knew that I was running out on you
That's what you do when time is running out and running down
That's when I knew where I was
That's when I knew that I was home
Where does the heart reside
If not where I lay my head?
I could run but I'm petrified
And choose this instead
Again and again
End of the road I'm running
And look back to survey where I'd been
Someday I'll write and ask you
If you could imagine what I'd seen
How could you think that I could turn my back on you?
How did you think this would be turning out? And turning 'round
What could I do but you?
What could I do to call this home?
That's when I knew where I was
Every time I try to tell you how I feel inside
I always make the same mistake
Tie myself in knots
Sometimes even make you cry
When all I ever want to say
Is "nobody else in the whole wide world
Makes me feel this way..
Nobody else in the whole wide world
Takes my breath away"
Makes me feel so strange inside
Dazed, confused and starry-eyed
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel the wrong-way round
Inside out and upside down
I couldn't love you more
And every time I try to tell you what I really mean
Nothing seems to come out right
And I end up murmuring foolishly it makes me want to scream
How I get so stupified
There's nobody else in the whole wide world
Makes me feel this way
There's nobody else in the whole wide world
Takes my breath away
Makes me feel so strange inside
Open-mouthed and mystified
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel so upside down
But you're headed round and ruond
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel so strange inside
Dazed, confused and starry-eyed
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel the wrong-way round
Inside out and upside down
I've been a traveler most of my life never took a home never took a wife
Ran away young and decided to roam
I wanna see my mama and my daddy back home
Home where the river runs cold the water tastes good the winters ain't cold
Home where trees grow tall the homefires burn and the whippoorwills call
[ ac.guitar ]
I remember stories that my pappa used to tell
My eyes get big and my chest begin to swell
I could sit for hours and listen with glee
As he'd tell of how he lived when he's a boy like me
Home where the river runs cold...
[ ac.guitar ]
Well mama dear mama do you still love your boy
After all my roamin' can I still bring you joy
Mom sent a letter got it not long ago it said come home I'm a missin' you so
Here is a song from the wrong side of town
Where I'm bound to the ground by the loneliest sound
And it pounds from within and is pinning me down
Here is a page from the emptiest stage
A cage or the heaviest cross ever made
A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong here
The heat and the sickliest sweet smelling sheets
That cling to the backs of my knees and my feet
Well I'm drowning in time to a desperate beat
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I've found that I belong
Feels like home
I should have known
From my first breath
God send the only true friend I call mine
Pretend that I'll make amends the next time
Befriend the glorious end of the line
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
(feat. Phil Collins)
[Layzie Bone]
I been stuck in the struggle
And I been wonderin' if I'm ever gon' bubble
I'm gettin' caught up in the dust
Instead of usin' my muscle
And everytime I extend my heart to my mother
Caught up in the game now I'm back up in the hustle
Sometimes I sit and I wonder
If a nigga pull my number
If it wasn't for the Bone Thug fam'
In this world where nobody don't give a damn
But I'm still a man
Got a soul program
I'ma pump my fist
I'm stayin' ready for this
And you can put this on Wish
I never stayed in ya buis'
And when I needed a ride
You wouldn't give me a lift
And now I'm poppin' my cris
You niggas all on my dick
I wanna change the world
You wanna change ya life
I wouldn't a put up a fight
If I knew it was trite
They say everything happin' for a reason
Can you tell me why these niggas bleedin'
Needin' general assistance
Out here needin' public housing
Out here tryna make ends meet
Tryna get on their feet
But see so cloudy
And I know what you don't know
You better get on your mission and get down for your dough
See the real niggas ready out here taken control
See I'm screamin' out Mo'
With my pockets on swoll
Please Mr. Postman, quit bringin' these bills to my house
Quit bringin' distrust to my spouse
Casuse I'm ready for the kill on look out, look out
If you niggas try to run up on the Bone
I'ma show you like this I'ma pull out my chrome
I don't wanna have to send a nigga home
Lord please take me home
Come and take me home
[Chorus]
[Phil Collins]
Take, take me home
Cause I dont remmeber
Take, take me home
Cause I dont remember
[Krayzie Bone]
Home,Home,Home,Home,Home,
Home,Home,Home,Home,Home
Please take me home
When I'm lookin' at my money now
livin' foul
I was runnin' wild, sur-vi-ving
Cause I'm nine-to-five
And even puttin' overtime if I had to grind
I was stayin' up, slangin' up, hangin' up on the block
Duckin' the cops clocked on the night-shift
Didn't think I'd ever make it out, out, out of the ghetto
But we finally made it
Stay dedicated to the music we made yeah
Now it's on Bone Thug
Leave alone, came back the next year
Number 1 platinum song it blew up from the go
And what do you know (Oh no)
Eazy, rest his soul
Left us in the mess, I don't regret it
But we better get up and get it, go
Everythang's gon' wrong
Especially Bone, it never been right
I knew it woulda been on
We woulda been tight
We would of been in the zone ridin' so high
Up in the game fire, does, lie
See we used to love makin' music
We was always in the studio, groovin'
We kept it movin', we was ready to do it (Right)
But you know I'm goin' through it
And ain't feelin this rap thing right now
They got me trippin' ready to flip
They got me trippin' ready to come get my chips
They got me trippin' loadin' the clips
They trippin', Lord I feel like I'm losin' it right
now (Right now, now)
[Chorus]
[Bizzy Bone]
I'll never give in
I'll never give up
I'll let 'em live in
They sinnin'
They pretend to be tough (Pretend to be tough)
Pretend to be blessed
They want money and women, it's never enough
hope nobody knows just too much
You better be good, you know up in the hood it's so,
we give 'em the dough
Fired out, laughin' up
When niggas died, niggas brought around nasty junk
And to the grave, I been one of the brave
Not one of the slaves
And I'll be one of the same, stay hatin' the fake
On the television runnin' 'round tellin' niggas be ready for hate
Guard Leathafce and the grin right up under my face
I steady debate the pain that I bring with hate
Sweet as the cake, I take another puff and shake
The smell of right it's all about guarding, guard the weak
Lost mommy, poppy left home
I miss Wish' Uncle Charlie
Sit list in the back tellin' his selction
His date is probably
Probably my mommy, song
Cryin' for the life of you gone
Just me and my destiny let's roll, let's roll
[Chorus]
[Wish]
When I lost my Uncle Charle a part of me went wrong
And it happened when the Bone was comin' up so strong
We just wanted him to see what we do
You motivated us at the shows we see too
And I really hope u live through what we spit on the song
You might have through somethin' hopin' nothin' like Bone
Like one said we'll never make it
Like two, thirty mil in they faces
Crossed over, back to the hood we souljahs
The music nigga make it back, scandlous
But faith kicked in and the world shows and we winnin' now
Gotta keep it comin' fool in my baby's mouth
And things have changed like relationships
Ain't did nothin', now you wanna flip
Suin' people thangs you would've never made on your own
Now I wanna stay, watch thug niggas leave the hood
Bye, think I'm home
Stick in the hood, mess with scrubs, it'll all be gone
You can really help a busta if it ain't ment to be
Wit a little oohwee, wit a little oohwee
I'm tired of tryin' to help these thugs
Lord just guide em' home, guide 'em home
[Chorus]
I woke up this morning
Now I understand
What it means to give your life
To just one man
Afraid of feeling nothing
No bees or butterflies
My head is full of voices
And my house is full of lies
This is home, home
And this is home, home
This is home
I found your standing there
When I was seventeen
Now I'm thirty-two
And I can't remember what I'd seen in you
I made a promise
Said it everyday
Now I'm reading romance novels
And I'm dreaming of yesterday
I'd like to see the Riviera
And slowdance underneath the stars
I'd like to watch the sun come up
In a stranger's arms
I'm going crazy
A little everyday
And everything I wanted
Is now driving me away
I woke this morning
To the sound of breaking hearts
Mine is full of questions
Thinking back when we first met
I remember what you said
You said you'd never leave me
I let go of your hand
Built my castle in the sand
But now I'm reachin' out again
And I'm not letting go
Till you
Hold me
Mold me
Sometimes I feel so all alone
See, I gotta find my way back home
So why don't you
Shape me
make me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way
Back home
Master upon my knees i pray
I just want to be the clay
Put your arms around me
Place my life in your hands
Lord, I know I'm just a man
I know you understand
This time I'm not letting go
Till you
Anoint me
Appoint me
Sometimes I feel so alone
See, I gotta find my way back home
So why don't you
Chastise me
Baptize me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way
'Cause I'm lost and alone
I've been wandering
Long enough to know
Humbly I search for you
And I'm not gonna rest
Till you
Choose me
Use me
Sometimes I feel so alone
I'm on my way back home
So why don't you
Direct me
Bless me
Wash me whiter then the snow
I'm on my way
Mama's got her apron on
Standing in the kitchen
Cooking up my favorite dish
Whatever she is fixing
Daddy's in a picture in a frame
That's always sitting by the phone
Daffodils are popping up
Out behind the clothesline
Underneath that tree I planted
When I was just a boy of nine
Man I never can believe
Just how much it's grown when I go
Home
Back home
To the gentle place that held be close
As I became a man
And the streets are all familiar
And an old friend shakes my hand
And I feel fine
So fine
Yeah, knowing that this road I'm wandering on
From time to time
It always leads me home
Brother, he'll be waiting with the
Latest from the grapevine, saying
Man you won't believe them stories
About those crazy friends of mine
And all them little scandals
That a small town can't seem to leave alone
Later on we'll sit around
Bellies tight from supper
Telling all them stories
That we just can't get enough of
And somewhere in an honest laugh
It'll finally hit me that I'm
Home
Back home
Where the memories all have gathered up
And slowly turned to gold
And I carry them along with me wherever I may go
And I feel fine
So fine
In knowing that this road I'm wandering on
From time to time
It always leads me home
Back home
Well I go and put some flowers down at daddy's stone
And I see that empty space beside him
It always makes me glad that I came
Home
Back home
Where the Bible is the Bible
And the angels get their wings
And the circle is unbroken
When I hear them church bells ring
And I feel fine
You know I feel so fine
Yeah, knowing that this road I'm wandering on
From time to time unwinds
Cross the rivers, through the pines
It always leads me home
Back home
Yeah I'm going back home
Traveling at night, the headlights were bright
And we'd been up many an hour
And all through my brain
Came the refrain
Of home and it's warming fire
CHORUS
And Home
Sings me of sweet things
My life there has it's own wings
Fly over the mountain
Though I'm standing still
The people I've seen
They come in between
The cities of tiring life
The trains come and go,
But inside you know
The struggle will soon be a fight
CHORUS
Traveling at night,
The headlights were bright.
But soon the sun came through the trees
Around the next bend
The flowers will send
The sweet smell of home in the breeze
You speak, when you are spoken to
And buy what you've been sold
You want, but you can't help yourself
Maybe it's time to go home
You smile, with a convincing grin
And laugh, until you frown
You play the game, you know you can't win
If you want some shelter from the storm
Somewhere you feel safe and warm
You can always go home
I think it's time to go home
You cry, but you can't show your tears
You lie, until you feel weak
You're scared, but you can't hide your fears
If you want some shelter from the rain
Somewhere you can ease the pain
You can always go home
I think it's time to go home
No questions asked
No judgments passed
And now, where have you been?
Just nice to see you
And welcome back
Oh yes, you're finally home
Laugh when you want to laugh
Cry when you want to cry
Smile when you want to smile
Lie if you need to lie
You smile with a convincing grin
And laugh until you frown
You play the game you know you can't win
When you need shelter from the storm
Somewhere you feel safe and warm, oh yeah
You can always go home
It's time to go home, ooh yeah
Yeah, yeah
No questions asked
No judgments passed
Now where have you been?
It's nice to see you
Welcome back
Oh yes, you're finally home, ooh yeah
If you want shelter from the storm
Somewhere we feel safe and warm
Then you know, I know, you know
When I think of home
I think of a place where there's
Love overflowing;
I wish I was home,
I wish I was back there,
With the things I've been knowing.
Wind that makes the tall trees bend into leaning,
Suddenly the snowflakes that fall
Have a meaning.
Sprinling the scene, makes it all clean.
Maybe there;s a chance
For me to go back
Now that I have some direction;
It sure would be nice to be back home,
Where there's love and affection.
And just maybe I can convince time
To slow up.
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up;
Time, be my friend, let me start again...
Suddenly my world is gone
And changed its face,
But I still know where I'm going;
I have had my mind spun around
In space
And yet I've watched it growing.
Oh, if you're listening God,
Please don't make it hard
to know if we should believe
The things we see.
Tell us, should we run away
Should we try and stay-
Or would it be better
Just to let things be?
Living here in this brand-new world
Might be a fantasy;
But it taught me to love,
So it's real, real, real to me...
And I've learned that we must look
Inside our hearts to find...
A world full of love
Like yours, like mine-
Like Home
The sun is shining brightly
There are no clouds in the sky
People talking outside
An' the traffic going by
The aeroplanes fly
Home is where I'm gonna be
Christmas
Take my word an' I'll be there
I won't let you down
Buy in all the fare
That you think we need
'Cos I'll be comin' home
It's where I'm gonna be
This Christmas
With the kids and you and me
Having all the fun
That we used to share
I'll be there 'cos home is where I'm gonna be.
Tryin', tryin', tryin', tryin'
Hopin', hopin'.
INSTRUMENTAL
I got the ticket for the aeroplane
All I need now is a line from you
Made some money and
I don't feel so stranded
My whole world is lookin' brighter.
Home is where I'm gonna be
This Christmas
All those promises before
This one is for sure
I guess you know the score
Tired of being alone
Everything
Is catching up with me
I awake
To find i'm not at all where I
Should be
And it feels
I'm getting to the end
And it's hard
To figure out what's real
And what's
Pretend
To break from what
We're tied to
God knows
How much i've tried to
And I am still inside you
And I am still inside you
I escape
Every now and then
And to think
I find myself
Back here again
And again
I used to know who I was
Untill you came along
I return
To the only place
I've ever felt
That I belong
To break from what
We're tied to
God knows
How much i've tried to
And I am still inside you
Get in the van, hit the road
Against the steam we swim
Another town, another club
Forever drink life to the brim
Different night, different crowd
Always pure 'n always loud
Give it all, a little more
Till I die, that's what I'm here for
Home is where the heart is
My heart is where the road is
Home is where the heart is
The road is where my home is
Like a dog we use to live
A lot to gain a lot to give
We have a dream, the four of us
Conquer the world in a broken bus
Modern nomads, don't stick too long
Unload the van and play our song
And if you wake, the morning after
Our ugly bus became a little wafter
Home is where the heart is
My heart is where the road is
Home is where the heart is
The road is where my home is
Home is where the heart is
My heart is where the road is
I try to find myself a way home
God gave me traveling shoes, God gave me the wanderer?s eye
God gave me a few gold coins to help me to the other side
Looked around and said, ?Be careful how small things grow?
God gave me traveling shoes and I knew that it was time to go
Sent in the ship at night to take me to the hidden port
Found me the key at last to open up the prison door
Brought down the blackbird's wings, gifted me with beggar's eyes
Sent in the jackals to tell me I should say bye, bye, bye
I'm home, home
Home, home, home
And I'm home, home
Home, home, home
But I'm miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
Where can I hide?
God gave me one last chance, gave me one last reprieve
Jah gave me hunger, gave me the air to breathe
Gave me one suitcase, gave me one last goodbye
Gave me traveling shoes, without them I would surely die, die, die
Home, home
Home, home, home
Home, home
Home, home, home
Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
Where can I go?
Where can I hide, hide?
I'm home, home
Home, home, home
And I'm home, home
Home, home, home
And I'm miles away
Miles away

Californian Weirdo: Sole has no eyes.
Could be Jerusalem, or could be Cairo
Could be Berlin, or could be Prague
Could be Moscow, could be New York
Could be Llanelli, and could be Warrington
Could be Warsaw, and it could be Moose Jaw
Could be Rome
Everybody got somewhere they call home
When they overrun the defences
A minor invasion put down to expenses
Will you go down to the airport lounge
Will you accept your second class status
A nation of waitresses and waiters
Will you mix there martinis
Will you stand still for it
Or will you take to this hills
It could be clay and it could be sand
Could be desert
Could be a tract of arable land
Could be a house, could be a corner shop
Could be a cabin by bend in the river
Could be something you old men handed down
Could be something you built in your own
Everybody got something he calls home
When the cowboys and Arabs draw down
On each other at noon
In the cool dusty air of the city boardroom
Will you stand by a passive spectator
Of the market dictators
Will you discreetly withdraw
With your ear pressed to the boardroom door
Will you hear when the lion within you roars
Will you take to the hills
Will you stand, will you stand for it
Will you hear, ohhhh! ohhh! when the lion within you roars
Could be your father and could be your mother
Could be your sister, could be your brother
Could be a foreigner, could be Turk
Could be a cyclist out looking for work, Norman
Could be a king, could be the Aga Khan
Could be a Vietnam vet with no arms and no legs
Could be a saint, could be a sinner
Could be a loser or it could be a winner
Could be a banker, could be a baker
Could be a Laker, could be Kareem Abdul Jabar
Could be a mail voice choir
Could be a super heavyweight, or it could be something lighter
Could be a cripple, could be a freak
Could be a wop, gook, geek
Could be a cop, could be a thief
Could be a family of ten living in one room on relief
Could be a our leaders in their concrete tombs
With their tinned food and their silver spoons
Could be a pilot with God on his side
Could be a kid in the middle of the bomb sight
Could be a fanatic, could be a terrorist
Could be a dentist, could be a psychiatrist
Could be a humble, could be proud
Could be a face in the crowd
Could be a soldier in the white cravat
Who turns the key in spite of the fact
That this is the end of the cat and the mouse
Who dwelt in the house
Where the laughter rang and the tears were split
The house that Jack built
Where the laughter rang and the tears were split
The house that Jack built
Bang, bang, shoot, shoot
White gloves thumb, Lord thy will be done
He was always a good boy his mother said
He'll do this duty when he's grown, yeah
(Music by Dream Theater, Lyrics by Mike Portnoy)
(12:53)
The Sleeper:
Shine- lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired
Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can't shake this charade
The city's cold blood calls me home
HomeIt's what I long for
Back homewhere I belong
The city- it calls to me
Decadent scenes from my memory
Sorrow- eternity
My demons are coming to drown me
Help- I'm falling, I'm crawling
I can't keep away from its clutch
Can't have it, this habit
It's calling me back to my home
The Miracle:
I remember the first time she came to me
Poured her soul out all night and cried
I remember I was told there's a new love that's born
For each one that has died
I never thought that I
Could carry on with this life
But I can't resist myself
No matter how hard I try
Living their other life
Is getting them nowhere
I'll make her my wife
Her sweet temptation calls me home
HomeIt's what I long for
My homewhere she belongs
Her ecstasy- means so much to me
Even decieving my own blood
Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taking me to my home
Help- he's my brother, but I love her
I can't keep away from her touch
Deception, dishonor
It's calling me back to my home
Nicholas:
Her story- it holds the key
Unlocking dreams from my memory
Solving this mystery
Is everything that is a part of me
Help- regression, obsession
I can't keep away from her touch
Leave no doubt, to find out
It's calling me back to my home
I ain't never going home
'Cause I'm having a good time
I ain't never going home
'Cause my time has come
I'll wait for the winter to lie at my door
White stretches out before me
Leads me to the hall
White circles play within my mind
Ices over and freezes life
Time will come, time will come, time will fall
Bringing the world to its feet
Bringing the world to its feet
I ain't never turning back
'Cause I've come this far
And I'm lost within my tracks
I will follow the North Star
I'll wait 'til the springtime
Is breathing at my door
The wilderness before me
Heeds the lion's roar
White circles play within my mind
Ices over and freezes life
Time will come, time will come, time will fall
Bringing the world to its feet
Bringing the world to her hands and her knees
I'll wait 'til the winter is lying at my door
Time stretches out before me
A stone's throw from the door
White circles play within my mind
Ices over and freezes life
Time will come, time will come, time will fall
Bringing the world to its feet
Bringing the world to her hands and her knees
Bringing the world to its feet
I ain't never going home
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not
enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I've got to go home
Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me
Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I'll be home tonight
Home on a kite we fly, home on a breeze we blow
Eyeing the folks below and watching everybody run
Each one heading for a different place
Watching everybody hide, each behind a different face
Home where the days are long back where the people are free
Home where all sides agree and everybody has a friend, oh
And no one ever has to grab
Everybody shares the love giving everything they have
Forever forever your lamp will burn
Forever home forever would that you'd learn
That you came with nothing so with nothing you'll return
Home
You know you're not alone it's only 'cause you're not a home
That you feel so out of place
Forever forever your lamp will burn
Forever home forever would that you'd learn
That you came with nothing so with nothing you'll return
Home where all the mums can sing, back where the children don't cry
Home where you never ask why
Everybody has enough, and you don't have to put on clothes
The crowded room is full of empty faces
The deepest convesation full of lies
Another night with all my friends
The kind you never see again
I wonder if they'll seethrough my disguise
And I want to say
And I can't hold back
And I might be wrong
But it's all I have
Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Oh I need you now
I'm lost without you
A million miles
But I will find you
So take me home
It's 3 A.M. and I can't sleep without you
I think I found the perfect words to say
Satellite transmits my voice
Sometimes we don't have a choice
I wake you up from half a world away
And I try so hard
Try to be so strong
But you see the cracks
My defenses gone
Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Oh I need you now
I'm lost without you
A million miles
But I will find you
So take me home
Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Come take me home tonight
Come take me home
Satellite transmits my voice
Sometimes we don't have a choice
I wake you up from half a world away
Oh I need you now
I'm lost without you
I'm holding on
Till I can find you
There is a place I was born
It is a place I've never seen
Don't even know where it is
Don't even know my name
Where is home, where is my home?
I'm searching far and wide
It's a bastard song
It is the feeling that everything's wrong
We are alive, we that have wings
We have devices can do anything, I say
Where is home, where is my home?
I hear my spirit cry
If you're out of transmission, way out on the road
If you're out of commission I can, give you the code
Darkness is coming and it's in your command
Time to be moving, time
There is a town I was born
Now there's a place I've got to call home
Where is home, where is my home?
I'm searching far and wide, oh yeah
Where is home, where is my home?
I hear my spirit cry
Wish I were with you but I couldn't stay
Every direction leads me away
Pray for tomorrow but for today
All I want is to be home
Stand in the mirror, you look the same
Just lookin' for shelter from the cold and the pain
Someone to cover, safe from the rain
And all I want is to be home
Echoes and silence, patience and grace
All of these moments I'll never replace
No fear of my heart, absence of faith
And all I want is to be home
All I want is to be home
People I've loved, I have no regrets
Some I remember, some I forget
Some of them living, some of them dead
I can close my eyes and see your lips move close to mine.
Hear your words so crystal clear with your breath in my ear.
Still So far away from you, it cuts so quick and clean.
Still so far away from you but I still want more.
I can close my lips before I taste ours soaked in wine.
Lay my head upon your breast and count your beats and smiles.
This is where the time stops and this is where it starts.
This is where we mend our broken hearts.
I'm on my way, can't stay away.
Since this love stings like it does over and again.
Again.
I'm on my way, I can't stay away.
Since this love stings like it does over and again.
I'm on my way, homeward bound.
Since this love stings like it does over and again and again.
I'm on my way, can't stay away.
Into Your courts I'll run with
Praises flowing from my heart
Every day I wake I sing Your song
It's the anthem of my life
I wanna spend my days in Your presence Lord
Bowed before Your throne
In the house of God is where I've found my peace
It's where I've found my
Home is Heaven one day Lord I will live
In Your courts You'll find me in worship at Your feet
Hide me now in the shadow of Your wings
Where we'll be, where we'll be
Your love is all I need
So desperately I have sung Your fame
I know You hear my every cry
The petition that I make, yeah
I wanna spend my days in Your presence Lord
Bowed before Your throne
In the house of God is where I've found my peace
It's where I've found my
Home is Heaven one day Lord I will live
In Your courts You'll find me in worship at Your feet
Hide me now in the shadow of Your wings
Where we'll be, where we'll be
Home is Heaven one day Lord I will live
In Your courts You'll find me in worship at Your feet
Hide me now in the shadow of Your wings
Where we'll be, where we'll be
Jesus, oh You are my treasure
Jesus, oh You are my treasure
Jesus, oh You are my treasure
Jesus, oh Lord You are my treasure
I wanna spend my days in Your presence Lord
Bowed before Your throne
In the house of God is where I've found my peace
It's where I've found my
Home is Heaven one day Lord I will live
In Your courts You'll find me in worship at Your feet
Hide me now in the shadow of Your wings
Where we'll be, where we'll be
Music: D.Gildenlow
'The white man, he comes and goes. He can go. ...But that's our homeland for
thousands of years. That's our home, and we will never leave. No matter how
contaminated it gets. We live there! We have always lived there and we will
always live there.'
This is our home - our roots go deep
Where our ancestors sleep
This is the land we've nursed for countless aeons
But never ours to keep
My tribe is crying - our land is dying
But we can't leave - this is our home
We can't let our past go...
We're left with your legacy
Wide awake, deep at our roots
While you move on exploiting
We'll sing lullabies for half a million years
When my son asks why, what will I reply?
But we can't leave - this is our home
We can't let our past go...
[Hallgren]
[Hermansson]
[D. Gildenlow]
But we can't leave - this is our home!
If you like concrete alone
Then don't make your high lives depend
On that past that you let go...
I gotta get home, there's a garden to tend
All the fruit's on the ground
And the birds have all moved back into my attic whistling static
When the young learn to fly I will patch all the holes up again
Well, I can't believe that my lime tree is dead
I thought it was sleeping, I guess it got fed up with not being fed
And I would be too I need food in my belly
And hope that my time isn't soon, isn't soon
So I try to understand what I can't hold in my hand
And whatever I find, I'll find my way back to you
And if you could try to find it too
'Cause this place has overgrown into waxing mood
Home is wherever we are if there's love there too
In the back of our house there's a trail that won't end
We were walking so far that it grew back in
Now there's no trail at all, only grass growing tall
Get out my machete and battle with time once again
But I'm 'bout to lose 'cause I'll be damned if time don't win
I gotta get home there's a garden to tend
All the seeds from the fruit buried and began
Their own family trees, teach them thank you and please
As they spread their own roots then watch the young fruit grow again
This old trail will lead me right back to where it begins
So I try to understand what I can't hold in my hand
And whatever I find, I'll find my way back to you
And if you could try to find it too
'Cause this place has overgrown into waxing mood
Another summer day

Child walks down to the river's edge
And looks out as far as she can see
And draws each breath as if it were the last
And wipes away the tears across her sleeve
She can see where the river crawls to the sea
Like a baby into mother's care
Somehow the longing is so far away
The innocence so wasted and aware
And look at the child with the dream in her eyes
Holding it deep inside her
Thinking about Home... Home...
So much anger so deeply ingrained
Seemed a burden that was hers alone
She didn't think that there was anything wrong
With wanting a life that she could call her own
How could I explain? You would not want to hear
You wouldn't listen if I talked anyway
For you were too weighed down by your own fears
And look at the child with the dream in her eyes
Holding it deep inside her
Home, everybody wants to go home
Even when they're old
Even when they're small
Home, everybody wants to go home
Even when they're old
Even when they're small
Home
Home
Home
What's worth nothing else but love
Take a walk down any street now
Every one of us in our own little world
Looking for a heart with whom to beat now
What's worth nothing else but love
I'm prepared to take the heat now
What's worth more than anything else at all
To keep you firmly on your feet now
So fake cool image should be over
'Cause I long for a feeling of home
Real life, depicted in song
A loving memory
After long, home is a place where I yearn to belong
Where the land meets the sea
She'll be smiling so sweetly now
I hope that she'll be here much longer than I will
My heart loves her with every beat now
So fake cool image should be over
'Cause I long for a feeling of home
Real life, depicted in song
A loving memory
I gave my life to you and i have worked so hard at it too
Would i do anything other than to raise you to be
The finest men?
After all this years of ploughing through the weeds
I have turned wise and grey
With every fiber in me
I have lived to see you grow to be
The finest men
I just followed my trail and I found my way back home
In this light of all I wanted to display for you
I will never leave you alone
In the corners of this universal sky
Then completion often day passes me by
As long as the ways of the light
Will reach your bearing heart
I will find
The finest men
I came and I saw
I will understand this freedom
And remind you of me
Will you pass me on
My pride
Take me home
Send me on a ship
My life leaves me
Homesick
Home
I forget myself
Home
I can't let myself
Let myself go
Miss my baby bones
I know the way they felt
I've been aching
For mother's milk
Home
I forget myself
Home
I can't let myself
Let myself go
And I wanna be only bereft
And I wanna get smartest in my heart
Somebody to cut what I can't chew
Fill me up like it fills the room
Got my big girl
Body and shoes
Sometimes lately
Its hard to choose
Home (can't let myself go)
I forget myself
Home (can't let myself go)
I can't let myself go
Home (can't let myself go)
I forget myself
Home (can't let myself go)
I can't let myself
let myself
let myself
let myself
I'm a soldier on the field
Fighting for you, fighting for me
You can see it on our faces
Like the bullets leave traces
You can feel it for real
You can't imagine the pain of my baby so far away
So far from my home...
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Oh shed some grace!
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
I'm a soldier on the field
Waiting to die, praying to live
To survive one more day
But my hope begins to fray
It's my flesh against the steel
You'll never know what I've known
You'll never see what I've seen
I hope we make it home...
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Oh shed some grace!
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?
Oh, when they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
So far from home
She cries, politics aside
What I'd give to have him here tonight
When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Oh shed some grace!
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?
Oh, children playing in the sun?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Oh, ?
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?
Oh, children playing in the sun?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?
Oh, ?
I see the morning moving over the hills
I can see the shadows on the western side
And all those illusions that I had
They just vanish in Your light
Though the chill in the night still hangs in the air
I can feel the warmth of morning on my face
Though the storm had tossed me
'Til I thought I'd nearly lost my way
And now the night is fading and the storm is past
And everything that could be shaken was shaken
And all that remains is all I ever really had
What I'd have settled for
You've blown so far away
What You brought me to
I thought I could not reach
And I came so close to giving up
But You never did give up on me
I see the morning moving over the hills
I feel the rush of life here where the darkness broke
And I am in You and You're in me
Here where the winds of Heaven blow
And now the night is fading
And the storm is through
And everything You sent to shake me
From my dreams they come to wake me
In the love I find in You
And now the morning comes
And everything that really matters
Become the wings You send to gather me
To my home
To my home
Home is a comfort and home is a light,
A place to leave the darkness outside,
Home is a peaceful and ever full feeling
A place where a soul safely hides.
And being in a home should remind you that still
There's a place that's prepared just for you
And I think my home is just Heaven's reflection
As long as my home's here with you.
Home is where someone is waiting and loving,
And happy to see you again,
That half of your heart that somebody else treasures
The one who's your forever friend.
But it seems that He's told me,
The life that He's showed me
Is a life mostly spent on the road
But when the world's empty charm
Has done all of its harm
I know that His love waits for me in you arms.
Cause home is a comfort and home is a light
A place to leave the darkness outside
Home is a peaceful and ever full feeling
A place where a soul safely hides.
And being in a home should remind you that still
There's a place that's prepared just for you
And I think my home is just Heaven's reflection
As long as my home's here with you.
And being in a home should remind you that still
There's a place that's prepared just for you
And I think my home is just Heaven's reflection
Angel, asleep on my shoulder
You don't know, how you're gonna grow.
Think you'll be strong and kind like your daddy
Sweet and generous, as your mamma too.
Sky above, endless and ever blue
filled with stars, shining their light on you
They're there when you're feeling scared you're all alone, they
lead you home.
Home
Angel, look what you've come to.
Like the deep blue sea love is all around you.
It's there when you're standing tall
it'll be there when you fall
It's at the edge of all the dreams you dream
Sky above, endless and ever blue
filled with stars, shining their light on you
They're there when you're feeling scared, you're all alone, they
lead you home.
Home
Angel, asleep on my shoulder
you don't know how you're gonna grow.
Think you'll be strong, like your daddy
sweet and generous, as your mamma too.
It's waiting for you, it's waiting for you, it's waiting for
Well thanks for coming to dinner
And yeah I'm glad we're friends
But honestly I'm not ready
For this evening to end
It's only 10 o'clock
And I don't feel much tired at all
When I get a taste of something
I always want some more
I'm tired of being alone
I want to take you home
You stole my heart
I should have known
I want to take you home
So how about a cup of coffee
Or we could get a snack
Or if you're heading uptown
Maybe we could share a cab
I don't wanna be rude
Don't mean to be obscene
It's just that I feel so much better
When you're next to me
I'm tired of being alone
I want to take you home
It started big
The feeling's grown
I want to take you home
And I could live without you
I could live without you
I could live without you
I just don't want to
I'm tired of being alone
I want to take you home
You stole my heart
I should have known
I want to take you home
I'm tired of being alone
I want to take you home
It started big
The feeling's grown
It's a long way from Miami to LA
It's a longer way from yesterday
To where I am today
It's a long way from my thoughts
To what I'll say
It's a long, long way from paradise
To where I am today
All that's in my head
Is in Your hands
It's a long way from
The moon up to the sun
It's a longer road ahead of me
The road that I've begun
Stop to think of all the
Time I've lost
Start to think of all the
Bridges that I've burned
That must be crossed
Over, over, over
Take me over
I've been poison
I've been rain
I've been fooled again
I've seen ashes
Shine like chrome
Someday I'll see home
Home, home
I can see the stars
From way down here
But I can't fall asleep
Behind the wheel
It's a long way from the
Shadows in my cave
Up to Your reality to
Watch the sunlight taking over
Over, over, over
Take me over
I've been poison
I've been rain
I've been fooled again
I've seen ashes
Shine like chrome
Someday I'll see home
Heal down to me
I've rested with you
I've spend always time
Time with my brothers
Love for my sister
Now I'm fine
And I wanna come home
These been some tears
Many fears about the way
The way that you love
The pain when you're bad
It makes me sad
Totally mad
Now I need to come back home
How beautiful
So wonderful
A beautiful love
Friends 'til the end
Now I'm home
Transcribed by scott tucker
I walk home everyday from my jobs
And the pay's not so good
To two rooms, it's not that much, where I keep my stuff
But I call it home
Caroline whispers every monday morning...
I wish that he'd come home
I wish that he'd come home
I wish that he'd come home
I wish that he'd come home
Lunch break, prescott street, where the people meet
And life seems so good
They're like the 45's
When I dream I'm dreaming of you
Watching tv every friday evening
Just like you were home
Just like you were home
Just like you were home
Just like you were home
I'm alright if you're alright
I'm alright if you're alright
Caroline whispers every monday morning
Looking out her window
At the snow shapes falling
I wish that he'd come home
I wish that he'd come home
I wish that he'd come home
I wish that he'd come home
I force myself through another day
Can't explain the way today just fell apart like everything
Right in my face
And I try to be the one
I can't accept this all because of you
I've had to walk away
From everything
I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home
Another sleepless night again
Hotel rooms my only friend
And friends like that just don't add up
To anything
And I try so hard to be everything
That I should never take away from you again
'Cause I heard ya say
I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home
I cannot forget
I live with regret
I cannot forget
I live with...
I'll live through this
I can't see through this
I can't do this anymore
I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I just wish I was back home
Wreckage - My mind
Insecure - All the time
ONCE LOVED - NOW PARALYZED
I ONCE THOUGHT - I'LL NEVER DIE
Frustrated - OUR SIMPLE LIFE
No one listens - EVERYONE LIES
Who said "HOME IS WHERE YOU HIDE"?
Strong as shit and now you see
I'm home - leave it to me
(leave it to me now that you've seen)
I'm home - leave it to me
(leave it to me)
From left to right...
I tried - my father said,
I'm scared - she always said
They grab and pull until I tear
MEANING - Too deep to swim
When's a good time for the end?
Who said I was YOUR FRIEND?
I'm home - leave it to me
(leave it to me now that you've seen)
I'm home - leave it to me
(leave it to me)
From left to right...
Suffocated - our simple life
No one listens - everyone dies
Never a chance - how could you see?
I'm home - leave it to me (leave it to me)
I'm home - leave it to me (leave it to me now that you've seen)
I'm home - leave it to me (leave it to me)
I'm home - leave it to me (what the fuck did you say?)
Thinking back when we first met
I remember what you said
You said youd never leave me, yeah
I let go a while of you hand
Built my castle in the sand
But now Im reaching out again
And Im not letting you go till you
Hold me, mold me
Sometimes I feel so all alone, hmm
See I gotta find my way back home
So why dont you
Shape me, make me, wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way back home
Master upon my knees I pray
I just wanna be the clay
Hmm put your arms around me, yeah
Place my life in your hands
Lord I know Im just a man
Know you understand
This time Im not letting go, till you
Anoint me, appoint me
Sometimes I feel so all alone, oh
See I gotta find my way back home
So why dont you
Chastise me, baptize me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way
Cause Im lost and alone
Ive been wandering long enough to know
Humbly I search for you
And Im not gonna rest till you
Choose me, use me
Sometimes I feel so all alone
Im am on my way back home
So why dont you
Direct me, bless me
Wash me whiter than the snow
Fight for felicity for me.
You know i cannot do it myself.
Stick your fingers in my mouth.
Pull my lips back and watch me smile.
Catch me on my troubled portion.
Maybe there is something there for you.
Look below her nylon stockings,
snapped the double notch and left untied.
Some king chooser will wind up with my number.
I'll go to sleep and
wait for my number to come.
Deep pockets may be deeper
and always had a nickel to spare.
Now the blood blister's,
the blister's black
as she washes her hands across her chest.
But if you're willing to call my machine,
flip the coins and watch me light up
hope the time is right for it
when its done
turn your back
King chooser has come for my number.
I'll just roll over on my back
and wait for my number to come.
So you asked, so I'm going
Here I am, never knowing
Where this horizon ends, and the next road begins
Or where I'll find you
It's getting dark and I'm a long way from home
But I can't stand spending this night alone
And I will sleep, my eyes to the east
And wait for the sun to come, home
I've gone to walkabout to find your face
The land I love, don't look the same
Look the same
So cover me like a blanket in the cold
You have given me this hand to hold
To help me up
'Cause I fall down
It's getting dark, and I'm a long way from home
But I will not spend this night alone.
I will sleep with my eyes to the east
And wait for the sun to come, home.
It feels something like I'm chasing the wind
I feel like this road has no end
But the end is you I know
Late at night I watch the cars
Quickly passing by…
Several people on their way
Driving somewhere…
Some are happy, some are not,
Some are hollow,
Some lost something they had got,
Others seized something.
Old and young, men and women,
Quickly drive somewhere
To the silent horizon
Till they vanish…
And the moment they are gone
I’ll be thinking
“All of them are going home…
Each to his own home…”
I’m drained and so vacant now
I cannot explain it…
My heart is so naked that
I feel it bleed.
At once I am drained of life,
I’m dying on my own…
Can anyone save me here
And tell me where’s my home?
Precious life is what I’ve got
But still it is of no good
‘cause I don’t belong to anywhere,
To anything or anyone here.
My precious soul is full of woe
‘cause no-one equals to me…
I’ve left my home once upon a long ago
And roam for centuries.
Eyes and faces, smiles and tears,
Quickly pass me by
To the silent horizon
Till they vanish…
And the moment they are gone
I’ll be thinking
“All of them are going home…
Each to his own home…”
I’m drained and so vacant now
I cannot explain it…
My heart is so naked that
I feel it bleed.
At once I am drained of life,
I’m dying on my own…
Can anyone save me here
And tell me where’s my home?
All I need and pray for
Is a little drop of power
To hold on my way
Day after day.
O, my god, give me strength
To forgive my enemies
As you forgive me
Every day.
I’ll walk through the tempest now (to my home)
And fight through the fire… (to my home)
I’ll take every test you give (to my home)
And carry on.
Someday you will lay me down, (to my home)
You’ll silence my heartbeat (to my home)
And take me away from here (to my home)
To my only home…
I’ll walk through the tempest now
And fight through the fire… (to my home)
I’ll take every test you give
And carry on. (to my home)
Someday you will lay me down,
You’ll silence my heartbeat (to my home)
And take me away from here
To my only home… (to my home)
All I need and pray for
Is a little drop of power
To hold on my way
I gave my life to you and i have worked so hard at it too
Would i do anything other than to raise you to be
The finest men?
After all this years of ploughing through the weeds
I have turned wise and grey
With every fiber in me
I have lived to see you grow to be
The finest men
I just followed my trail and I found my way back home
In this light of all I wanted to display for you
I will never leave you alone
In the corners of this universal sky
Then completion often day passes me by
As long as the ways of the light
Will reach your bearing heart
I will find
The finest men
I came and I saw
I will understand this freedom
And remind you of me
Will you pass me on
My pride
I found in life my way home
You find where your going you work out what's wrong
And you sit down and look at your options you look at them
Find a place to go
Find the place where you know
And you will find where your life is at
You sat down
You worked out your place and your options
Your life is spread out before us
Work on your own independence
And you will find your place before me In my home
In my home before me
Take the opportunity
Some day you'll find just what you see
Don't let it go
Don't let your life go before your on your own
Without independence
And you will find your place before me
Get independent Make your life rearrange
You will find that it is changing
Make the most in every day
Work from the start
Watch it slowly come together
You'll never fall apart
Some people live in a house on the hill
And wish they were some place else
There's nobody there
When the evening is still
Secrets with no one to tell
Some I have known have a ship where they sleep with sounds of rocks on the coast
They sail over oceans five fathoms deep
But can't find what they want the most
Even now when I'm alone
I've always known with you
I am home
Some live in towns
Cardboard shack on concrete
All bluster and bustling life
They search for the color they can never quite see
Cause it's all white on white
Even now when I'm alone
I've always known with you
I am home
For me it's a glance and the smile on your face the touch of your hands,
And an honest embrace
For where I lay it's you I keep,
This changing world I fall asleep
With you all I know is I'm coming home,
Well here I am at my front door
And oh what an odor is rising
It seems I've stood on this porch at lesser times
Now I've been down the road
You know the one you've dreamed about
And that's surprises you
And I'm sure you'll chalk it up to sell out crime
Home
What do you do when opportunity knocks
When success stalks and along comes fame
Do you open the door or watch in horror
Through the peep hole as they all go away
Lottery or poverty you're a commodity so what's it gonna be
I'm moving on I'm moving on
Home I'm going home I'm going home
Sitting in that same spot
There with the other lot whining
And you know this must be just a mirage
Ain't no doubt I ain't got the clout that's defined by you
But oil stains are all you're gonna find in my garage
Hey whatcha gonna do when the fun stops
When the boat rocks and the crew gets old
Make up your mind it's about time
Because at this time you're staying
Home
The child in my eyes
Stares sometimes
When I was so much younger
Home
A place in the sun
Where memories run
I close my eyes and there I am
Home
The love remains
Through all the years
Through all the change
The sweetest dreams
I've ever known
Are those of you
And those of home
Time
The turn on a page
The love someone needs
When we were there together
Steal where ever I go
Deep in my soul
A part of me is always there
Home
The love remains
Through all the years
Through all the change
The sweetest dreams
I've ever known
Are those of you
And those of home
When you smile
And hold me in your arms
Sometimes for the moment
I'm that child again
Home
The love remains
Through all the years
Through all the change
The sweetest dreams
I've ever known
Are those of you
And those of home
Are those of you
Poetry of politics and lost entities
Government is loneliness on this we agree
High are the angels and low I decree
Love only burns when fueled by belief
Home, welcome home
Take a little walk, take a little walk right through our
Home, this is home
Take a little walk, take a little walk right through our... home
Climb up the mountains then slide to the seas
Beauty adores us on this we agree
God is a witness and God is a tease
Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
I miss you, you know
And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
I've been sneaking out your back door
since I can't remember when
and thinking about the world I didn't know
and how I wanted in
but now I find I'm in the thick of it
and feeling so alone
I'd take the chance
just one more chance to get me anywhere
It's like I'm running down every road but home
I know I'm running and I'm moving too fast
so here we go, oh
and where I'm heading to it's nobody's guess
so here we go, oh
so here we go, oh
I saw the map like any other would
looking to find and follow lines
that led me to question
but I can see it in the symmetry
it's what was really always meant to be
this singularity is clear from a distance
so I'm dying here to fall in love with home
I know I'm running and I'm moving too fast
so here we go, oh
and where I'm heading to it's nobody's guess
so here we go, oh
so here we go, oh
Staring into mirrors
lost in my design
believe in dreams and wait for signs
you will always find me when I run away
so I will not slow down until I make it back into your arms this time, oh
I know I'm running and I'm moving too fast
so here we go, oh
and where I'm heading to it's nobody's guess
so here we go, oh
I know I'm running and I'm moving too fast
so here we go, oh
and where you're headed to you don't have to guess
so here we go, oh
I'm headed home, oh
I'm headed home, oh
Home is friendly space
Home is a familiar face inside the door
All curled up on the bedroom floor.
Home is where I find the bed
some place to lead my head to morning comes
singing here comes the sun .
Does it matter where I go or what I do
I can't lie you know it's true
It ain't home without you.
Some people spend there days
Lost in a heartless haze out in the cold if I may be so bold
That life is not for me ‘cause every day I see a better way
And I can surely say.
Chorus:
Does it matter how many days come by
Or how many times feel and touch the sky
Does it matter where I go or what I do
It ain't home without you.
It aint home, oh you know
That Im lost all alone
It aint home
Home is friendly space
Home is a familiar face inside the door
All curled up on the bedroom floor.
Home is where I find the bed
some place to lead my head to morning comes
singing here comes the sun .
Chorus:
Does it matter how many days come by
Or how many times feel and touch the sky
Does it matter where I go or what I do
[Intro:]
We are all running in a race
To find everything that you searching for is right there
[Chorus:]
Your love is blinding, I'm already home
The lights are shining, I'm already home
[Verse 1:]
Who can you trust when you can't trust yourself
So I made a vow, in my faith only you I'll follow
[Chorus:]
Your love is blinding, I'm already home
The lights are shining, I'm already home
[Verse 2:]
I'm not worthy, never could be that, I know
But somehow in spite of me you're always there to hold
[Chorus:]
Your love is blinding, I'm already home
The lights are shining, I'm already home
[Bridge:]
I can be a mess, I'm reckless & it shows
But with you I close my eyes and let you take control
Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn
[Chorus:]
Your love is blinding, I'm already home
Tell me how did we fall into this place
We move on, we will never be replaced
And I can't even think about the next
It's too far away
First I must forget, by leaving
I am a different man
I didn't have the picture
For the perfect frame
I know that
We travelled streets unknown
Been away too long
Now it's time to go home
Back with our love
We should never be strangers
You should never pass me on the street
Would you please remember me as I remember you
Looking back we were strangers in the night
We were told that we let our hearts collide
And I swear I had the time of my life
Wish I could stay, it just wouldn't be right
I know you
You turn the light off last
You let me sleep to dream
You let me wake up first
I believe in you and that will never change
But I must turn away
Now it's time to go home
Home, back with our love
We should never be strangers
You should never pass me on the street
Remember me please
[Big sean - verse 1]
Hey, I told my city I'll be back but for now I'm leaving
Tell em I'm leaving
Promise I'll be back though, at least once a season
Tell em I'ma get it, I'm who they can believe in
And I'ma bring it back like I kept all the receipts and
My hood show me love, I'm there to receive it
I know I run my city because I'm there to see it
It's hard being a citizen settling up in michigan
I'm trying to make a name like a f-cking birth certificate
Awwwww! now a nigga on
And the dj playing my song
And she wanna drink a little dom perignon
With sean!
I pray that it ain't temporary
I've seen it in my dreams though
Mr visionary and I told them what it is though
Mr. dictionary and they so f-ckin regular
I call em missionary like
[Hook]
Aww! can't wait til I get back home
And I'ma put all my niggas on
And we gonna be the ones on tv
Everybody gon see me, you'll see man
Aww! can't wait til I get back home
And I'ma put all my niggas on
And we gonna be the ones on tv
Everybody gon see me, you'll see man
[Big sean - verse 2]
I walk up in this bitch like "do I need an introduction?"
When you living out your dreams sleep's an interruption
Man, I hate it how the city a corruption
With no concussion or a toolie tucked in
Yeah, we paid or we laid up,
No minimum wages, yeah, what else can I say? huh
We ain't no bed or a lie but we made up
While they was all sleeping later we stayed up
With drapes up like, aww!
And I'ma be home soon as I get the crown and throne
And the name across it is my own
Who would've known that we'd be paid off this musical grind
Unusual I'm me and my beautiful mind
That's why my niggas high-class like a school in the sky
I spit the heat, you might see a mirage but no facade nigga
Could a feeling be so wrong,
Why I left you for so long,
Home, though I miss you more each day,
There was nothing you could say,
I had to go my way,
Show them I was older now,
And not some toy that they could play with,
Tell me how, everything I need today is
Lost only traces on faces,
That won't remember me now,
Yes I'm going back there somehow
Lost where my memory waits for me,
Home is where I belong,
But it's not the same when you're gone
With a lifetime passing by,
Every question asking why
Home, if I ever feel you're mine,
We will meet again in time,
Just realise that I'm old enough to know by now
That foolish dreams don't last forever,
Funny how, looking back I thought I'd never
See only traces on faces,
That won't remember me now,
Yes I'm going back there somehow,
Lost where my memory waits for me,
Home is where I belong,
But it's not the same when you're gone
(My heart takes me
Home, been so long,
They won't remember me now)
Yes I'm going back there somehow,
(Lonely road that leads me nowhere
Home, I was wrong
Home is where I belong)
But it's not the same when you're gone,
(Can't replace what waits for me there)
Home, if I ever feel you're mine,
We will meet again in time,
Just realise that I'm old enough
To know by now,
That foolish dreams don't last for ever,
Funny how,
Sometimes I just wonder whether
Looking back I thought I'd never
See only traces on faces,
That won't remember me now,
Yes I'm going back there somehow,
Lost where my memory waits for me,
Home is where I belong,
We are home, we are where we shall be forever.
Trust in me, for you know I won't run away.
From today, this is all that I need and all that I need to say.
Home should be where the heart is, I'm certain as I can be.
Floating away
fading away again
fall from your arms find my feet again
you're coming down
you're coming round again
facing your eyes
I'll find my way home
hey have you picked up anymore marbles off the floor the streets you once lived on are now gone time will never stop and that stilts we used to walk on are now too weak for you and me to walk on now looking out among the clouds right through the rain massive mountain tops in the front of me i want to go home where i know it is safe and everybody's watching out for me home that's where i live spend most of my time here there's too much unrest nothing goes as planned so let's leave and go on home before it gets too late dancing to the music all night long
After all that he said, after all that he done
What can make you believe that he's still the one
Why'd you hide from the truth, when you break down and cry
There's a reason you stay, I just don't know why
Would be better off walking away from this
And you won't be alone
When there's nowhere to run, when you're hurting inside
When you can't carry on, just know there's a place you can hide
Don't you be so afraid of the things he would say
I would stay by your side baby if you leave, let it go
You're gonna find your way home!
I remember that girl, her laugh and her smile
She ain't gone but she's been away for a while
No I find it hard to watch and take that away
But there's only so much that I can, can take
You know you deserve so much more than this
How can I make you feel?
When there's nowhere to run, when you're hurting inside
When you can't carry on, just know there's a place you can hide
Don't you be so afraid of the things he would say
I would stay by your side baby if you leave, let it go
You're gonna find your way home!
You should know you deserve so much more
(so much more)
So let me take you away
(let me take you away)
When there's nowhere to run, when you're hurting inside
When you can't carry on, just know there's a place you can hide
Don't you be so afraid of the things he would say
I would stay by your side baby if you leave, let it go
West, on a plane bound west
I see her stretchin' out below
Land, blessed Mother Land
The place where I was born
Scars, yeah she's got her scars
Sometimes it starts to worry me,
'Cause lose, I don't wanna lose
Sight of who we are
From the mountains high
To the wave-crashed coast
There's a way to find
Better days, I know
It's been a long hard ride,
Got a ways to go
But this is still the place
That we all call home
Free, nothin' feels like free,
Though it sometimes means
We don't get along
'Cause same, no we're not the same
But that's what makes us strong
From the mountains high
To the wave-crashed coast
There's a way to find
Better days, I know.
It's been a long hard ride,
Got a ways to go
But this is still the place
That we all call home.
Brave, gotta call it brave
To chase that dream across the sea.
Name, then they signed their names
For something they believed
Red, how the blood ran red
We laid our dead in sacred ground
Just think, wonder what they'd think
If they could see us now
It's been a long hard ride,
Got a ways to go
But this is still the place
That we all call home.
It's been a long hard ride,
And I won't lose hope
This is still the place
The funniest girl I ever knew
Had hair as orange as Halloween
The bluest eyes that saw right through
All the BS and everything
She was an artist from the start
And she always sang from the bottom of her heart
And though her road was so long
She finally made her way back home
Yes, she finally made her way back home
The loneliest kid I ever saw
Owned to an old man's calloused hands
Sitting barefoot in front of a dime-store
In a place some called, 'The Promised Land'
He had hollow sunken eyes
But he was smiling big like he'd won some kinda prize
He was ragged, he was rolling like a stone
In the dirty city streets that he called home
Yeah, the dirty city streets that he called home
Hobos, tramps and troubadours
Don't ride in box cars like they did before
Seems like most of my heroes
Just ain't around no more
Yeah, I know I'm lucky to sing my songs
If you want to, you can sing along
As you been on this road so long
Won't you help me find my way back home?
Help me find my way back home
Won't you help me find my way back home?
I'm just an oxymoron in a song when I'm straight bent
Intoxicated on sobriety, irony makes sense
I'm tryin' to make a livin', you diein' to pay the rent
Why you lyin' for forgiveness, when I ain't givin' you shit?
My original plan was to live as a starvin' artist but
Starvin' artist die hungry, dress bummy
OMG, LOL, capital HEO
See alot of 'em talk, half of 'em ain't paid
Know, truthfully I walk it out, like Dre say
Bought my car on 106, but now it's missin' like AJ
I played it smart, with a little to the side
Bought a bar in New York, where I sit and swallow my pride
I'm home and they've been missin' me since I've been gone
That's why your Mrs is been hittin' me on my phone
Little man, had a plan, now he grown, not do along for to long
Sing the song everybody
I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home
I know I've been gone for to long, but I'm back, homecoming
I know y'all missed me, don't even play, I'm home now though
I'm back, your boy did it, look how he shitted on 'em
He's like hard division, consider him a problem
Subtract me from the game, now that's a bad equation
Add the fact, this industry's whack, now check your calculations
He's the equivalent of Mc2
Multiplied by eight kimbos, plain and simple
When I'm not to the nearest tenth hell, it's just a waist of time
I'm stingy, I only make sense to myself
If wealth was the truth, then it should by a man's happiness
Why the hell you think I'm smilin' so hard while I'm rappin' this
Eye yos fuckin' ne yo
The whole world got there eye balls in my e-hole
And that's why I keep the lies all close by 'cause currency is dirty
Especially when you got it stacked miles high
They say money changed me, that's a no, no
I just don't roll with bums, no hobo
I'm home and they've been missin' me since I've been gone
That's why your Mrs is been hittin' me on my phone
Little man, had a plan, now he grown, not do along for to long
Sing the song everybody
I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home
Man, Gym Class Heroes is a real problem, you needa recognize that
Y'all was actin' funny while we was gone, now we back
You tried livin' in the fast lane but couldn't reach the pedals
Now your so called life not as cool as Jared Ledos
I give this whole rap game a purple tonsil
Now that's what you get for acting hostel
You can bite the hand that feeds you but when it bites back
You gon' get arrested development cuffs and cardiac
I'm in my prime, going harder than I should so
You little bastards takin' orders like good burger
Spittin' snaple facts, that's nonsense
Read a couple books and you call yourself concious
The only reason I've been sleeping on music lately
'Cause y'all ain't makin' nuthin', slightly close to entertaining
But that's entertaining, this is history
If you ain't on my level, don't even get at me
Literally, I am what you have been waiting for
Gym Class is now in session, you ain't gotta wait no more
I'm home and they've been missin' me since I've been gone
That's why your Mrs is been hittin' me on my phone
Little man, had a plan, now he grown, not do along for to long
Sing the song everybody
I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, I'm home
And there you have it, Gym Class Heroes, baby
Hey again, up for a spin?...
Pretty rain make you smile...
This is something, why don't you come in?...
This is some swell trash...
Jesus, he's easy, the safest way to go home...
Hell, nothing's boring, never could panic alone...
Hey again, my only friend, pretty rain makes you smile
don't pretty rain make you smile?...
You are something, why don't you come in?...
You are swell trash...
Hyper-martyr, never could panic alone...
Find her, untie her, my safest way to go home
The people poured their concrete floors,
And built their churches and their walls,
They painted pictures of their hopes and fears on them.
A single look, a tiny touch can change the system, it's enough,
And I can see it all in you love.
And your eyes explode with light, explode with light, I'm covered in your light.
My home is where you are,
In every beat, in every beat we're closer.
My home is where you are,
In every beat, in every beat we're closer.
They fashioned streets out of the rock,
And struck up statues to their gods,
And hung out flags on every corner they made.
We are charged, spoiling to go,
You bring me back back to where I'm from,
A billion molecules all lined up.
And our hearts are pulsing with life, Pulsing with life, we're pulsing with life.
My home is where you are,
In every beat, in every beat we're closer.
My home is where you are,
I was born in a cradle of love.
I had two brothers who beat me up
When I was 7 years old
I had a friend named Tom
And when we were together
I didn't want to go home
When I was 15, I was very confused
I made a bad habit out of breaking the rules
The kitchen window
Was my door to the night
And when I got caught
They made me stay home
I was 20 years old when I met you
And as soon I as saw you
I knew what I had to do
I still remember the way you looked
And how I wanted to tell you
I want to take you home
I'm 26 and I still love you
But as far as the world goes
I still don't have a clue
What it's for or what it's about
But until I find out,
You keep watching the rain come down (yeah)
Pretty princess, broken crown (yeah)
And your dreams have all burned out
But don't you know that they brought you
Here somehow, all you need to know is....
You're home, where secrets are told
See a new world unfolding
Where hearts are one, the pain's undone
And your finally belonging, yeah
And you need to know, you need to know
You're home, yeah
You need to know, you need to know
You're home
So take your coat off and stay awhile (yeah)
What made you cry can make you smile again
You can hold your head up high
'Cause don't you know that you
Oh, girl you were born to fly
When you realize.......
You're home, where secrets are told
See a new world unfolding
Where hearts are one, the pain's undone
And your finally belonging, yeah
And you need to know, you need to know
You're home, yeah
You need to know
All you really need to know is you're home
Welcome home
Everything's gonna be alright
'Cause you're home
Feel the sun, your day has come
You're not alone
[Rapper Big Pooh]
I done been around the globe, with records I sold
Came back home, pride got stole
Poobie ain't the one to ever break down and fall
Sketched a new plan, made a few mo'
Pulled out a scroll and jotted a few notes in it
Don't be concerned with niggas homie, go get it
I show spit it for my UK peeps
Brother you don't want it when LB's in the street
Dude, we got heat, keep jams like jelly
Swing like Teddy, come box with me
Want what with me? Yeah I rides with P
And 9th my codeine when we go to the mic
We let beats and rhymes take us where we like
Shit, I might fly off tonight
I'm tellin you right, Stockholm might find you a wife
Where you can land and catch your cool where the climate is nice
[Hook: Rapper Big Pooh]
I done been around the world, Japan to Amsterdam
Californ-i-a and back again
Up and down ninety-five like I'm traffickin
Still, it's no place like home
You know how it is when you out, hear folks talkin bout
Where they was when it happened, who is, who ain't rappin
People still packin, cups flow with 'gnac
And still, it's no place like home
[Rapper Big Pooh]
I done been around the globe and back again
LB took a week, flew out to Japan
Ate steak and Koubei, rode the bullet train
I thought niggas was goin down comin back on the plane
I toured the US in a broke RV
Drivin down the coastline is a sight to see
Still, it's no place like life in NC
Or, goin back to the seven-oh-three
Every breath got a drum and a kick
A moment to sit, think about all the places I been
Then I'm, right back to the paper and pen
You know, I gotta do it again
[Hook]
[Joe Scudda]
Yeah, uh, home's where the heart is and that's real
Cause you don't appreciate home until you gone
So when I'm all alone I just think about my people
at the crib for a minute and it puts me in the zone
And it's all right where I need to be
Cause I know I'm not around but there's people I love there that needin me
And I can see it in they eyes when I come back
Seein my momma and she happy that her son back
Pops too, let me say props to
9th and Pooh for lettin me stop through
It's because of them I'm outa state doin wild shit
Instead of back at the crib doin some foul shit
They peep game, gave me some pointers
Now I'm in different cities standin on different corners
So if I'm gone you can hit me on the phone
I'll be gone for a minute but I'm soon to be home
[Hook]
[Rapper Big Pooh]
It's no place like home
That's why I'm right here, I love bein here baby
I done been around the world and I-I-I
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
9th Wonder, C Sams, broad, forty free
The only the thing I see ahead, is just the heat a rising off the road
The rainbows I've been chasing keep on fading before I find my pot of gold
And more and more I'm thinking, that the only treasures that I'll ever know
Are long ago and far behind, wrapped up in my memories of home
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole
And the feel of a muddy row between my toes
Home was a back porch swing where I would sit
And mom would sing amazing grace, while she hung out the clothes
Home was an easy chair with my daddy there
And the smell of Sunday supper on the stove
My footsteps carry me away
But in my mind I'm always going home
Now the miles I put behind me ain't as hard as the miles that lay ahead
And it's way too late to listen to the words of wisdom that my daddy said
But the straight and narrow path he showed me
Turned into a thousand winding roads
My footsteps carry me away
But in my mind I'm always going home
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole
And the feel of a muddy row between my toes
Home was a back porch swing where I would sit
And mom would sing amazing grace, while she hung out the clothes
Home was an easy chair with my daddy there
And the smell of Sunday supper on the stove
My footsteps carry me away
But in my mind I'm always going home
The straight and narrow path he showed me
Turned into a thousand winding roads
My footsteps carry me away
The dimming of the light makes the picture clearer
It’s just an old photograph, there’s nothing to hide
When the world was just beginning.
I memorized her face so it’s not forgotten
I hear the wind whistle in, come back anytime
And we’ll mix our lives together
Heaven knows, what keeps mankind alive
Every hand goes searching for its partner in crime
Under chairs and behind tables
Connecting to places we have known
I’m looking for a home, where the wheels are turning
Home, why I keep returning
Home, where my world Is breaking in two.
Home, with the neighbors fighting
Home, always so exciting
Home, were my parents telling the truth?
Home, such a body feeling
Home, no one ever speaking
Home, with our bodies touching
Home, and the cameras watching
Home, will infect whatever you do
Where home, comes to life from out of the blue
Tiny little box from a beach at sunset
I took a drink from a jar and into my head
Familiar smells and flavours
Vehicles are stuck on the plains of heaven
I’ve seen their wheels spinnin round
And everywhere I can hear those people saying
That the eye is the measure of the man
You can fly from the stuff that spills around you
We’re home and the band keeps marching on
Connecting to every living sole
How many times can my heart be killed
Before it dies never to return forever
How many times can I part with love
Before I turn into stone to survive it better
Before I turn into stone to survive it bitter
I need to go home
I need to go home now
I need to go home
I need to go home now
How many nights must I dream of this
Before I know I'm not better off without you
How many lifes did we restore in one kiss
But we let it grow strong enough to have a breakthrough
I'm about to turn into stone to survive it better
I need to go home
I need to go home now
I need to go home
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone, I wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I?ve been keeping all the letters
That I wrote to you, each one a line or two
?I?m fine baby, how are you??
I would send them but I know
That it?s just not enough, my words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another airplane, another sunny place
I?m lucky I know but I wanna go home
I?ve got to go home, let me go home
I?m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like I?m living someone else?s life
It?s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
This was not your dream
But you always believed in me
Another winter day
Has come and gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I?m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone and I wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I?ve had my run
Baby, I?m done
I'm coming back home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I?ll be home tonight
Belle:
Yes, I made the choice
For papa, I will stay
But I don't deserve to to lose my freedom in this way
You monster!
If you think that what you've done is right, well then
You're a fool!
Think again!
Is this home?
Is this where I should learn to be happy?
Never dreamed
That a home could be dark and cold
I was told
Ev'ry day in my childhood:
Even when you grow old
Home should be where the heart is
Never where words so true!
My heart's far, far away
Home is too
Is this home
Is this what I must learn to believe in
Try to find
Something good in this tragic place
Just in case
I should stay here forever
Held in this empty place
Oh, that won't be easy
I know the reason why
My heart's far, far away
Home's alike
What I'd give to return
To the life that I knew lately
But I know now I can't
All my problems going by
Is this home?
Am I here for a day or forever?
Shut away
From the world until who knows when
Oh, but then
As my life has been altered once
It can change again
Build higher walls around me
Change ev'ry lock and key
Nothing lasts, nothing holds
All of me
My heart's far, far away
What happened yesterday
When your heart gave way?
No air inside, no eyes to see your way
Life on earth is gone
Today you're holding on to the hand of God
Finally you're truly alive now
You've made it home
Did you fall upon your knees?
Tell me could you speak of anything
When he took your hand
When he wiped your tears away?
Tell me, did he speak?
One day we will see you, we will hear you (voice of life)
One day, we will all come home
And we will finally be alive
Finally you've made it home
We can't always be together
You gotta pick it up, you gotta pick it up again
Things can't always hang together
'Cause nobody knows, so let's give it a go
Home
You'll be running all the way back home
But nothing's gonna save your soul
You'll be running all the way back home
Home
We can't always make things better
When it comes around you gotta nail it down
And this ain't gonna be forever
'Cause nobody knows, so let's give it a go
Home
You'll be running all the way back home
But nothing's gonna save your soul
You'll be running all the way back home
Home
If there was some way to manage this space between us
(If there was some way to manage this space between us)
I find it hard to reach
Home
You'll be running all the way back home
But nothing's gonna save your soul
'Till you've finally found your peace on your own
You'll be running all the way
Because life is short and getting shorter
And we don't do things that we oughta
Life is short and getting shorter
You and your views
we can't always be together
you gotta pick it up, you gotta pick it up again
things can't always hang together
cos nobody knows, so let's give it a go
home
you'll be running all the way
back home
but nothing's gonna save
your soul
you'll be running all the way
back home
home
we can't always make things better
when it comes around
you gotta nail it down
this ain't gonna be forever
cos nobody knows
so let's give it a go
home
you'll be running all the way
back home
but nothing's gonna save
your soul
you'll be running all the way
back home
home
if there was some way to manage this space
between us
(some way to manage this space between us)
(i find it hard to reach) home
you'll be running all the way
back home
but nothing's gonna save
your soul
till you've finally found your peace
on your own
you'll be running all the way
because life is short
and getting shorter
and we don't do things that we oughta
life is short and
getting shorter
you in.....
and so......
Better days will never be (x3)
What does this mean
It means
We get the best scene
When politics talk
The ends of power meet
Nice to be wanted
Safe and protected
The ends of power
When politics talk
Better days will never be (x3)
Better days will never be
Home sweet home
Home, home
Let's talk politics
Every dog has its day
For me
I don't believe
Better days ahead
Will never be
I don't believe in anything
(nuclear day)
Better days will never be (x3)
Spare no man
Match bomb for bomb
All is fair in war
When the ground is soft
With hot blood
Spare no man
Better days will never be
(match bomb for bomb)
A scorched earth
(flatten the earth, this home sweet home)
No charity
(burn everything, from lust to dust)
No weak pity
(no charity, no weak pity)
From lust to dust
(all is fair in war)
Front porch light would be turned on
And I was always gone too long
Curfew was at 10pm
And I'd sneak in trying not to wake him when I got
Home
Daddy always said "Son, you're half a bubble off'a plumb
Head-strong and stubborn", and maybe I was
Yeah, I couldn't wait to leave
Last place I in the world I wanted to be was
Home
Now I'm flying down that old dirt road
But it seems these wheels are spinning slow
I'd never left that way if I'd have only known
He's gone, so here I am
Home
I sat in my car and cried
Wished to God he was still alive
Inside, mama wiped my tears
She said, He would have been so happy that you're here at Home
Then I thought about my life
And about my kids and about my wife
And about how time just flies no matter what you do
And every soccer game I have missed
And every time I fight when I could forgive
And how I can't let it come to this
When I get home
Now I'm flying down that old dirt road
But it seems these wheels are spinning slow
And it's taken me a while but now I finally know
Everything that matters most is at
Home
This is my home I come here by day or night
I brought you here
Just to share when we're fine and fear
Fuck! Es war ein Fehler ich war falsch
Ich war falsch ich war falsch
This my home I come here moat be alone
To keep myself far far away from the pain and fights
Fuck! Es war ein Fehler ich war falsch Falsch
Fuck! Mein Fehler ich war falsch
Fu lachst über mich
Ich will nicht lachen
Ich will nicht lachen ich will
Du lachst über mich
Ich ich will nicht lachen
Ich will nicht lachen ich will
Du lachst du lachst über mich
This is my home
I come here by day or night
I brought you here
Just to share when we're fine and fear
Mein Fehler ich war falsch
Ich war falsch falsch
Fuck! Mein Fehler ich war falsch
Du lachst über mich
Ich will nicht lachen
Ich will nicht lachen
Ich will ich will
Du lachst über mich
Ich ich will nicht lachen
Ich will nicht lachen
Ich will
Du lachst über mich
Du lachst über mich?
Ha! Falsch falsch
Falsch! Ich lach über dich!
Ha! Falsch!
That night the walls were speaking
the pipes inside them, creaking,
told the secret that was rising in the halls
And you lay beside me sleeping
with the dreams that you were keeping
the smoke was in the stairwell outside the wall
We had moved in just November
the first night, remember,
we lit a candle
laid a mattress on the floor
and we toasted to our savings,
to adulthood,
to behaving,
to this house with drafty windows
creaking doors
(chorus)
Home
is the woman across the table
Home
is dreaming in my sheets
Home
Home
This house is just an address
You're my home
So we stood like statues staring
while the sirens came in blaring
the Johnsons brought us coffee
for the cold
And somewhere I heard some singing
it was my radio alarm clock ringing
with a wakeup call singing to my soul
(chorus)
I can't believe I'm thanking Jesus
as I watch my roof come down
but I can put back all the pieces
as long as you're around
