Home And The Heartland
Lisa Kelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

High in the sky,
Through the clouds and rain,
Every familiar field,
Seems like an old friend,
When every hand that you shake,
Is like a warm embrace,
Could only be one sweet place,
Home and the Heartland.

Sing out your songs,
And ring out your stories and rhymes,
Weave from your dreams,
The mystical dances that lead us to
Bind in heart and mind.

As we circle the world,
With our wandering airs,
Gathering here and there,
Leaving behind our share,
Like the leaves in the wind,
They are blown along,
Melodies rising from,
Home and the Heartland.

Sing out your songs,
And ring out your stories and rhymes,
Weave from your dreams,




The mystical dances that lead us to
Bind in heart and mind.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lisa Kelly's song Home and the Heartland evoke the powerful emotions and feelings associated with coming back home to the place where one's heart belongs. The opening lines of the song paint a vivid picture of a familiar landscape, including fields that feel like old friends, as if to signify that the singer has been away for a long time. The chorus of the song celebrates the sense of community that is often only found in one's home and the heartland, where every hand that you shake is like a warm embrace. The lyrics suggest that while the world may change and people may come and go, the singer always knows where to return to find comfort and belonging.


The second verse of the song echoes the theme of wandering that was briefly touched upon in the first verse. The lyrics suggest that we are all wanderers who circle the world, gathering experiences and leaving our mark wherever we go. However, even as we wander, we remain connected to our roots, represented in this song by the melody that rises from home and the heartland. The final lines of the song encourage listeners to share their songs, stories, and dreams, so that we may all be bound together in heart and mind. Through the mystical dances and shared experiences of our lives, we come to understand the meaning of home and the importance of staying connected to our roots.
