Lyrics

[00:08.430] When I think of home
[00:12.520] I think of a place where there's
[00:19.490] Love overflowing;
[00:23.580] I wish I was home,
[00:27.720] I wish I was back there,
[00:31.620] With the things I've been knowing.
[00:39.310] Wind that makes the tall trees bend into leaning,
[00:46.890] Suddenly the snowflakes that fall
[00:52.240] Have a meaning.
[00:56.090] Sprinkling the scene, makes it all clean.
[01:12.460] Maybe there; s a chance
[01:16.200] For me to go back
[01:28.980] It sure would be nice to be back home,
[01:34.590] Where there's love and affection.
[01:43.040] And just maybe I can convince time
[01:48.800] To slow up.
[01:51.130] Giving me enough time in my life to grow up;
[02:00.270] Time, please be my friend, and let me start again...
[02:16.550] Suddenly my world is gonna change it's face
[02:23.830] But I still know where I'm going;
[02:31.210] I have had my mind spun around and around
[02:36.010] In space
[02:37.680] And yet I've watched it growing.
[02:44.350] Oh, I know you're listening Lord,
[02:49.250] So wont you please don't make it hard
[02:53.650] I know I shouldn't believe everything, everything
[02:56.880] That things we see.
[02:59.520] Tell me, should I try and stay
[03:03.870] Or maybe I should run away
[03:08.160] Would it be better, better
[03:12.150] Just to let things be?
[03:15.140] Living here in this brand-new world
[03:21.100] Might be a fantasy; yes it might be
[03:29.690] But it taught me to love,
[03:34.800] So I know that it's real, it's real, real to me...
[03:43.900] And I've learned that we must look
[03:47.680] Inside our hearts to find...
[03:55.260] Yeah we gotta find
[03:59.150] A world full of love
[04:04.260] Like yours, like mine-
[04:12.800] Like Home
