Embracing Life's Haven: A Journey of Belonging
Lyrics
I come home, after school, after work,
I return home after school and work.
A bad day I go to you, to laugh, relax and talk - not in a hard way
During tough days, I come to you for laughter, relaxation, and conversation, but not in a demanding way.
It's easy, to be me when your smiling,
It's easy for me to be myself when you are smiling.
You'll see me out the door, welcome me in the hallway
You see me off at the door and welcome me in the hallway.
Home, Home, Home
Expressing the sense of home with repetition - "Home, Home, Home."
Sit down to eat, having tea, looking at all three,
Sitting down to eat, having tea, observing family members (possibly three), experiencing various emotions and some complaints.
Faces, voices raising, some complaining
Highlighting the dynamics within the household.
Pets have grown, some passed, dog runs past,
Mentions the changes in the household, including the growth of pets and the passing of some.
Four walls built from stone, filled, it's home
Describing the home as a structure with four walls built from stone, filled with life - emphasizing that it's a true home.
Home, Home, Home
Reiteration of the theme with "Home, Home, Home."
Head up the stairs, you're there to grab my hand,
Heading upstairs, where a supportive presence is there to hold hands.
Taking the time to read, decompress with me
Taking time to read and decompress together.
Lay in bed, eyes closed, off to sleep,
Lying in bed, closing eyes, drifting off to sleep.
In my dreams, you're there with me
In dreams, the comforting presence is still there.
Home, Home, Home
Reaffirming the concept of home with "Home, Home, Home."
Now all the times I'd joke, it never felt like home,
Reflecting on past times when the idea of home felt elusive, possibly due to bad memories and life's fast pace.
Bad memories growing old and life's not going slow
Acknowledging the challenges of growing older and the speed of life.
And if and when I moan, I'll still be coming home,
Despite challenges, expressing the commitment to always return home and find comfort.
Wherever you will be, your always home to me
Wherever the other person is, their presence symbolizes home.
Your always home to me
Repetition emphasizing that the person is always home.
Your always home to me
Repetition, reinforcing the idea that the person is always home.
Your always home to me
Reiteration of the constant feeling that the person is home.
