Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning
Suddenly the raindrops that fall have a meaning
Sprinklin' the scene
Makes it all clean
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Givin' me enough time in my life to grow up
Time, be my friend and let me start again
[Verse 5]
Suddenly, my world has gone and changed it's face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space
Yet, I've watched it growing
[Verse 6]
And oh, 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 to stay?
Or should we run away?
Or would it be better just to let things be?
[Verse 7]
Living here in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But it's taught me to love
So it's real, real, real to me
[Verse 8]
And I've learned
We must look inside our hearts
To find a world full of love
Like yours, like mine
Like home
