COME ON HOME
Cyndi Lauper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It will be whatever it is you need
It will be better even though I know you're not sure
Remember the rain even comes down in Shangri-La
Look up as it soaks into your skin and remember who you are and
Come on home when the road you've been walking gets too long
Don't be scared in case the grass you thought was greener isn't there
If you find the sun won't shine through every window
If you find a moonlit night still makes you blue
If you find out why you feel the way you do
Glance over your shoulder boy you know I'll be there
I've found in the past you know, sometimes life isn't fair so
Come on home when the road you've been walking gets too long
Don't be scared in case the grass you thought was greener isn't there
You can come on home
When lifes isn't fair don't go there
You can come on home
In Cyndi Lauper’s song Come on Home, the singer urges someone to return home when life gets too difficult. The lyrics suggest that the person on the receiving end of the message is searching for something that they believe may bring them contentment and happiness. The singer suggests that whatever that thing might be, it won’t necessarily bring satisfaction, but that returning home will offer comfort and an escape from the demands of life.
The lyrics, “Remember the rain even comes down in Shangri-La, Look up as it soaks into your skin and remember who you are” is a reminder that even in paradise, life isn't always perfect, so the person should take time to reflect and focus on who they are as a person. When life gets overwhelming and the person is feeling lost or down, the singer says that they will be there, and the person should come back home. The message of the song is that chasing after things that are external to oneself is not the key to happiness, and that sometimes one simply needs to reconnect with their roots and remember where they came from.

Música linda com uma letra magnífica!
Irá acontecer
Aquilo que você procura
Aquilo que você precisa
Irá ser incrível
Mesmo sabendo que há dúvida
Lembre-se que a chuva ainda cai em Shangri-la
Olhe como ela encharca sua pele
E lembre-se de quem você é
Volte pra casa
Quando o caminho percorrido se tornar enfadonho
Não se assuste
Caso o mundo lá fora for o contrário do que você imaginou
Apenas volte pra casa
Se você notar que o sol não brilha por todas as janelas
Se você perceber que uma noite de lua cheia ainda te entristece
E se descobrir a razão pela qual você tem se sentido assim
Dê uma olhada ao redor
Eu vou estar por aí
Eu já passei por isso, sabe
E realmente nem sempre a vida é justa
Volte pra casa
Quando o caminho percorrido se tornar enfadonho
Não se tenha medo
Caso o mundo lá fora for o contrário do que você imaginou
Apenas volte pra casa
