Home Again
R. Blackmore Lyrics

I've been many places
I have traveled to many different locations throughout the world.

I've travelled 'round the world
I have journeyed to many countries and regions across the globe.

Always on the search for something new
I am always seeking out new experiences and opportunities in my travels.

But what does it matter
Despite my travels, I realize that there is something more important and valuable to me than novelty.

When all the roads I've crossed
Throughout my journey, I have traversed many paths and trails.

Always seem to lead back to you...
Despite my travels, I always find myself being drawn back to a certain place or person.

Old familiar faces
People from my past who are still present in my life.

Everyone you meet
People who you come across in your daily life, including friends and acquaintances.

Following the ways of the land
Living in accordance with the unique culture and traditions of a particular place.

Cobblestones and lanterns
Historic and nostalgic elements that are characteristic of a particular location.

Lining every street
Present and noticeable throughout the streets of a particular location.

Calling me to come home again
Making me feel a strong sense of connection and longing to return to a particular place.

Dancing in the moonlight
Enjoying oneself and feeling carefree during the tranquil and serene nighttime.

Singing in the rain
Feeling liberated and joyful while experiencing a natural weather event.

Oh, it's good to be back home again
Expressing the feeling of contentment and happiness upon returning to a familiar place.

Laughing in the sunlight
Finding humor and joy in the bright and warm daytime.

Running down the lane
Physically moving and exploring the natural landscapes and paths of a particular location.

When you play with fire
Taking risks and potentially putting oneself in danger.

Sometimes you get burned
Suffering the negative consequences of taking risks or making mistakes.

It happens when you take a chance or two
Risk taking is often accompanied by potential failure, but it is necessary for growth and learning.

But time is never wasted
Even if mistakes are made or risks don't pay off, the experiences gained are always valuable.

When you've lived and learned
Through experience and reflection, we are able to grow and learn from past mistakes.

And in time it all comes back to you...
In the end, our past mistakes and experiences come full circle and contribute to our growth and development as individuals.

And when I got weary
When I became tired and needed rest.

I'd sit a while and rest
Taking time to pause and recharge in order to continue moving forward.

Memories invading my mind
Thoughts and recollections of the past surfacing in my mind.

All the things I'd treasured
Things and experiences that I cherished and valued from my past.

The ones I'd loved the best
The people and experiences that held the most significance and importance to me.

Were the things that I'd left behind...
Despite my travels and experiences, the things that remained most important to me were the ones from my past.
