Going Home
Vicki Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Going home, going home
I'm just going home
Quiet like some still day
I'm just going home

Mother's there expecting me
Father is waiting too
Lots of folks gathered there
All friends I knew

It's not farjust close by
Restless dreams are done
Quiet like some still day
I'm just going home
I'm just going home

It's noyt far just close by
Trough an open door
Work all done care laid by
Going to fear no more

Morning star lights the way
Restless dreams are done
Quiet like some still day




I'm just going home
I'm just going home

Overall Meaning

The meaning behind Vicki Brown's "Going Home" is introspective and reflective. The song is a meditation about life's journey, and how it eventually leads us back to our origins. The singer of the song is getting ready to return to where she came from, to a place where she feels completely at peace. In the chorus, she repeats that she's "just going home," and it's clear that this destination is not a physical place – it's a state of mind that she's returning to.


The verses of the song paint a picture of the singer's family and friends, who are all eagerly anticipating her arrival. She's coming home to a warm welcome, and there's a sense of excitement and joy in the air. The line, "Lots of folks gathered there / all friends I knew," suggests a reunion with loved ones who have already passed on. The song's gentle melody and soothing vocals, along with the theme of reunion, create an overall tone of comfort and closure.


The second verse talks about how the singer's work is finished, and she's ready to let go of her worries and fears. The morning star is shining, and the "restless dreams" of life are finally over. These lyrics paint a picture of the singer's journey coming to an end – she's completed the work she was meant to do and can now let go of her fears and worries. In this sense, "Going Home" can be interpreted as an expression of faith, as it suggests a belief in life after death and the idea that everything will ultimately be okay.

Een pracht vrouw met een prachtige stem. Ze raakte mij diep in mijn ziel toen ik haar voor het eerst met een concert hoorde zingen bij mij in Groningen. Ik heb daarna nog een 2e concert van haar mogen bijwonen. Wat een charisma en uitstraling had Vicki. Ze had bij mij een diepe indruk achtergelaten en nu nog... Ze was al ziek toen ik haar hoorde zingen in 1990. Maar er ging een enorme kracht van haar uit. Haar persoonlijkheid, die stem... Je blijft in ons hart voortbestaan Vicki.
