No Place Like Home
Michelle Gayle Lyrics

When feeling low it's easy to think
When your mood is down, it's natural to think that there must be a better place to be.

There must be a better place to go
It's easy to believe that things would be better if you were somewhere else.

My mama told me look inside myself
Instead of blaming external factors, my mother advised me to examine my own thoughts and feelings.

Instead of blaming something else
Rather than attributing your problems to external factors, it's important to acknowledge your own role in them.

But nobody ever listens to
Even though this advice is sound, people aren't always receptive to it.

Words that don't reflect their state of mind
People are more likely to pay attention to advice that confirms their current beliefs and attitudes.

When they see on their TV screens those sexy girls
Many people are influenced by the images they see on television, particularly those of attractive men and women.

And damn, the men look fine
The attractiveness of male celebrities can also have an impact on people's perceptions.

Got off the plane and straight away I realised that things weren't what they seemed
After arriving in a new location, it quickly becomes apparent that the reality doesn't always match your expectations.

From state to state and place to place, nobody matches the images I'd seen
The people and places you encounter as you travel don't always live up to the idealised images you've seen in the media.

But nobody ever mentions that what you see upon the screen ain't right
The media often presents a distorted view of the world, and people don't always recognise this fact.

And if I have ever learned a thing, I've learned it ain't all about the sunshine
Travelling has taught me that happiness isn't just about being in a sunny, exotic location; there are more important factors at play.

Just been around the world my baby
I've travelled to many different places.

(New York got it goin' on)
New York is a great place to be.

(L.A. you are the bomb)
Los Angeles is a fantastic city.

(Jamaica got it goin' on)
Jamaica is a wonderful destination.

But there's no place like home
Despite all the amazing places I've visited, there's still no place as comfortable and familiar as home.
