My Home
The Persuasions & Rockapella Lyrics

Is it the sky today
The singer wonders if the current state of the sky is prompting their memories.

The way the wind's pushing the clouds
The singer notices how the wind is affecting the clouds and further wonders if it's contributing to their nostalgia.

Or is it the late day sun
The singer questions if the positioning of the sun is what's causing their memories to resurface.

Pushing the shadows over the ground
The artist observes the way the light is changing and how it's creating shadows.

That brings on these memories
The artist confirms that it's the current environment that's rekindling their past.

Of people and places that I've never seen
The singer reminisces about the memories of people and places they've never actually experienced.

And voices so strange and so sweet
The singer recalls the unfamiliar yet alluring voices that they associate with their memories.

Asking me softly
The voices the artist references are figuratively asking them a question, prompting them to consider their definition of home.

Where is my home?
The question being posed to the artist, who is uncertain of how to answer it.

What makes this person me?
The artist questions what defines their identity and how it relates to their feeling of home.

Is it the little town where I was born?
The singer wonders if their place of birth is what makes them who they are and if that's where their home is.

Or maybe it's history
The artist considers the impact of their familial history on their identity and sense of home.

The faces of family I've never known
The singer wonders about the relatives they never met and how their existence affects their concept of home.

Somewhere across the sea
The singer thinks about their ancestral roots and if their true home is where their family originated from, even if it's in another country.

Where my great-grandmother left long ago
The singer imagines the reasons why their ancestors may have left their homeland, and if that history is still relevant to their idea of home.

Under a cold crying moon
The artist envisions a melancholic scene from the past where their relatives may have set off on their journey.

Looking for something
The artist considers the motivations behind their ancestors’ departure.

Where is my home?
The question the singer grapples with once again.

The walls of a city
The singer ponders if the city landscape could be where their home lies.

Painted with promises and words so unkind?
The artist questions the appeal of the city and whether it's alluring or damaging to their sense of home.

The trees of a country
The artist thinks about the countryside and if it could provide the feeling of home they've been searching for.

Where autumn came suddenly
The artist remembers a specific moment of nature that stood out to them and draws on that to contemplate their sense of home.

That I'll never find
The singer worries they'll never be able to pinpoint where their true home is.

But then there's your face, dear
The artist acknowledges the presence of someone important in their life that brings them comfort and joy.

And I know I'll never be walking alone

The love in your eyes makes it clear

Telling me softly

This is my home
The conclusion that the artist comes to, that their true home is wherever they feel loved and secure.
