Hawaii My Home
Stephen J. Anderson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Found a home in my heart where a hole used to be
White picket fence tucked away in the trees
It's got copper roof shingles
I built it myself
I found a home in my heart
Wherever I go it follows my lead
I am never alone, home is calling for me
I don't need reservations
At an air bnb
I found a home in my heart
I've been looking for shelter in all the wrong places
Under rocks or in various people's embraces
But the windows and walls don't define
What is so undeniably mine
It don't have an address but I'm there all the time
The home that I found in my heart
Found a home in my heart it don't cost me a dime
Come and go as I want it's unlocked all the time
Don't pay property taxes
My rent's never late
I found a home in my heart
Found a home in my heart where an ache used to be
It was lonesome and dark till I learned how to see
I can't love someone else




Till I learn to love me
I found a home in my heart
