Carl Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One life,
And a love that was meant to
Be myone wife,
I really hope that we make it
Two kidsin two years
and we ain't worried because the greatest time is yet to come
And we live a life in love
(Home)
I'm on my way,
That's where I started from
(Home)
Been away for too long
I wanna come back
(Home)
It's where the heart is
(Home)
Where all the people I love live
For three days and three nights
I've been away from my babies
I'm wondering, what you're doing now
Cause everything that I'm doing
Is for love
And for life
so don't you worry because the greatest time is yet to come
And we live this life in love
(Home)
I'm on my way
That's where I started from
(Home)
Been away for too long
I wanna come back
(Home)
It's where the heart is
(Home)
Where all the people I love live
Through love comes changing people
Sometimes we need to understand and let it be
But throughout all these changes
You put your pride inside for me when I'm in need
Oh I wanna come back home
(Home)
I'm on my way
That's where I started from
(Home)
Been away for too long
I wanna come back
(Home)
It's where the heart is
(Home)
Where all the people I love live
In my home, (home)
There's my wife
And my babies, yes they are (home)
Standing waiting for me, at home(home)
Can't wait 'til I see you again (home)
Where all the people I love live (home)
This is my life
I wanna come back home (home)
Oh yeah, (home)
Said I wanna come back home (home)
Where all the people I love live
Family, yeah, yea
The song "Home" by Carl Thomas speaks of the joys of marriage, family, and the desire to return home after being away for some time. The first few lines talk about his hope in having a lifelong love that would lead to marriage with one woman. He hopes to have two kids in two years and anticipates that the greatest time is yet to come for him and his family. The phrase "live a life in love" reveals that Carl Thomas is emphasizing the importance of love and family in his life.
He goes on to say that he has been away for "three days and three nights" from his children and wonders what they are doing now. Everything he does is for love and life, so he encourages his wife not to worry because the best is yet to come. He uses the phrase "live this life in love" again, which further emphasizes the theme of love and family.
The chorus continually repeats the phrase "I wanna come back home," emphasizing the need to return to loved ones at home. Finally, the song ends by emphasizing the presence of loved ones waiting at home, particularly a wife and children. The song is a poignant reminder of how family and home are integral parts of a person's life.
