From the band's own website:
"The Movers – Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty -- began in New Orleans in 2003 and now are fast-rising stars on the national kids music scene thanks to their combination of radio-friendly songs, kid-friendly themes and dynamic live shows. In concert, the Movers teach high-energy dances, play games with the audience and make music on their one-of-a-kind trashcan drumset. Kids and parents help perform new kids classics like “Shakable You,” “The Medicine Song,” “What’s in the Fridge?” and "I Want My Mommy (Time for Bed).""
and:
"In 2007, Disney Channel green-lighted a Movers television series for Playhouse Disney featuring Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty as blue-collar brainstormers working hard to solve “idea emergencies” in their Idea Warehouse, a clearinghouse of infinite inspirations. Through songs, stories and skits, the Movers move kids to exercise their bodies and brains."
On My Way Home
Imagination Movers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the middle of the sea
There's an island lullaby
That is calling out to me
I'm on my way home
My pacific paradise
Blue water clears my face
My big family waits for me
In a house in the shade of a mango tree
I'm gonna make my tu-tu smile
Spend the night on this beautiful isle
See the highest moutain-top
Right there below your feet
The fish in the clear blue waters
How'd that apple taste so aweet?
I'm on my home
(I'm on my way home)
To the middle of the sea
(To the middle of the sea)
There's an island lullaby
(There's an island lullaby)
That is calling out to me
(Calling out to me!)
I see sea-birds flying high
See turtles splash below
All the island girls & boys
Shout "Aloha!"
(Aloha!)
Waves dancin' in the moonlight
Gentle breeze across the sand
Hear a song in the leaves of the orange trees
That sing a lullaby to you and me!
Ecoo hoo a may
EE comoo wana
Ay kay lay mo Hawaii
EE layee ah hoo wi ee nay
(calling out to me!)
On my way, on my way
(to the middle of the sea)
On my way, on my way
(there's an island lullaby)
On my way, on my way
(that is calling out to me)
The lyrics to Imagination Movers' "On My Way Home" paint a serene picture of the singer's journey to a peaceful and idyllic island home in the middle of the sea. The song begins with the singer expressing his desire to go back home, where there is an island lullaby calling out to him. The singer describes his pacific paradise with blue waters, clear skies, and touching mountains. He also talks about how his family, particularly his grandmother (his "tu-tu"), awaits him in a house under the shade of a mango tree. The song is full of vivid imagery, including waves dancing in the moonlight, sea-birds flying high, and island girls and boys shouting "Aloha!"
Throughout the song, the singer appears to be in a state of awe and appreciation for his surroundings. He asks how the apples could taste so sweet, marvels at the clear blue waters filled with fish, and admires the highest mountain-top right there below his feet. He is also appreciative of the lullaby sung by the orange trees in the island and seems to want to share this peaceful experience with everyone.
The song's melody and lyrics are easygoing, laidback, and perfectly capture the relaxed island life. The song advocates that everyone can have their own island paradise that they can go back to, a place of comfort and relaxation.

My haven called Pacific
Blue water clears my face
I can feel the fresh mist from the blue sea on my face
And the mountains touch the sky
The towering mountains appear to be touching the sky from the view of the sea
My big family waits for me

Right there below your feet
It is right beneath our feet, providing a breathtaking view

How'd that apple taste so sweet?
Expressing wonder at the taste of the apple

All the island girls & boys
Every local child of the island
Shout "Aloha!"
They exclaim Aloha, a Hawaiian greeting
Waves dancin' in the moonlight
The waves are rhythmically moving under the moonlight
Gentle breeze across the sand
The sand is getting brushed softly by the pleasant wind
Hear a song in the leaves of the orange trees
The rustling of the orange tree leaves sounds like they are singing a tune
That sing a lullaby to you and me!
The sound serves as a comforting lullaby for us
