Love is a language, time is a thief
Hope is a lantern, breath is relief
Memory is water pooled in your palm
Home is a song
Twilight’s a whisper, night is a chord
Grudges are poison, anger’s a sword
Beauty’s a feeling you feel coming on
Home is a song
I keep singing like birds in the morning
I keep listening to the wind in the trees
I keep wondering where am I going
And who will I be
Rain is a tear drop, envy’s a thorn
A friend is a lifeboat when lonely is a storm
A ghost is a shadow that’s here then it’s gone
Home is a song
I keep singing like birds in the morning
I keep listening to the wind in the trees
I keep wondering where am I going
And who will I be
A heart is a traveler, a soul is a wing
Calling all passengers wanting to sing
One day we’ll arrive where we belong
Where home is a song
When we arrive where we belong
Home is a song
