Home
Van Dyke Parks Lyrics

Home to my destiny dear
I am going back to the place where I belong, towards my destiny.

Home I can rest without fear
When I reach home, I feel safe and can relax without any worries.

Home for the soul who has found he is half not whole
Home is where one realizes their true self, completing the missing pieces and finding wholeness.

Home place where I find relaxion
Home is where I unwind and find peace.

Home for some natural action
Home is where one can be themselves and act naturally.

Home from the cold and the glitter and that is not gold
Home is the contrast to the world outside with its fake and materialistic nature.

At home by the fire
Being near the fire at home symbolizes being comfortable and warm.

You only desire to
At home, one only desires to

Go out and get in a stew
Leave home and get into trouble.

Could get you in trouble
Leaving home can cause trouble.

Get home on the double
Return home quickly.

You're dreaming, your dream can come true
Your dreams can come true if you believe in them.

Where you knew it would right from the start
Home is where you always knew you belonged.

Home with its warren, its peace-time
Home is where one experiences both chaos and calm.

Home with its famine and feast
Home is where there are times of lack and times of abundance.

Home last not least for the beauty within your beast
Home is where one finds acceptance despite their flaws.

Where there is tranquility
Home is where there is peace.

Half happability
Half happiness and contentment is found at home.

Yearning to let what may come come
At home, one is open and accepting to whatever may come their way.

In tender and loving care even the foul is fair
At home, one is caring and understanding, even towards unpleasant situations.

Let every road lead to Rome, not to ruin my
Let every journey lead me back to the safety and comfort of my home rather than towards destruction.

Homely home sweet home
Home is a place of comfort and sweetness.

Half have a mind to get my situation
Half of my mind is set on returning to the situation I am familiar with at home.

Wholly owned and only consolation
Home is the sole source of comfort and consolation for me.

Back to bed to habitate when
Return to the bed I am accustomed to and sleep in a familiar place.

I get back home
When I reach home.

My mind have been churnin'
I have been thinking deeply about the things that matter to me.

My feet have been burnin'
I have been travelling for a long time.

My heart had been turnin' to love
I have been feeling overwhelming love in my heart.

And he who laughs last you see, ain't gotta laugh on me
The person who laughs last does not have to laugh at me because I have found solace in my home.

And all that I'm speaking of
What I have been speaking about all along.

Please believe me
Believe me.

You just set your feet back on the ground
When you return home, you feel grounded.

And turn around
Turn around and look at your familiar surroundings.

And get back home
And return to the place where you belong, home.
