No Place Like Home
Blu Cantrell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I have seen
My share of things
So much I have come across
While traveling (yeah)
But nothing can compare to what
I have come to know and love
That's what made me who I am
There is no place, quite like home
I'll never leave, swear I won't
Home is a state of mind
It's the thing that keeps
Me grounded
It's where I can always go
And blend right in (yea)
So even when I'm far away
I'm not really far at all
Because I carry home around
With me in my heart
There is no place, quite like home
I'll never leave, swear I won't
This is where it all begins
Bonds are formed
With family and friends
For life
They were there long
Before the hype
And this is why
There is no place, quite like home
I'll never leave, swear I won't
There is no place I'd rather be
Than here with those
Who love me
There is no place, quite like home
I'll never leave, swear I won't
