Rainbow Valley
Journey Home: Embracing Roots in Rainbow Valley
Lyrics
I'm going home, to Rainbow Valley
I am returning to Rainbow Valley.
I've been away, away too long
I have been away for an extended period.
Going to see those purple mountains
I am going to see the purple mountains of Rainbow Valley.
Smell the meadows green, and hear the Bluebirds song
I will experience the scent of green meadows and hear the song of Bluebirds.
When I started to roam
Reflecting on when I began my journey.
I was barely seventeen
At the age of seventeen, I started to travel.
Guess a man has to roam
Suggesting that a person needs to explore before understanding the meaning of home.
'Fore he learns what home can mean
One must roam before realizing the significance of home.
Goin' home, to Rainbow Valley
Heading back to Rainbow Valley.
Gonna settle down
Intending to settle down in Rainbow Valley.
Right there in my home town
Planning to establish a permanent residence in my hometown.
Yes it's a one whistle town
Describing Rainbow Valley as a small and simple town.
Lots of others are the same
Many towns are similar, but Rainbow Valley is special.
'Cept that folks lend a hand
Highlighting the community spirit where people help each other.
And they call you by your name
Emphasizing the personal touch of being known by name in the community.
Goin' home, to Rainbow Valley
Reiterating the return to Rainbow Valley.
Gonna settle down
Planning to settle down permanently in Rainbow Valley.
Right there in my home town
Choosing Rainbow Valley as the ideal hometown.
