Home Songtext
von John Allen

From the day that I was born, I felt strangely out of place, no relations to my parents, no relation to my name
I′ve always been a stranger in the life that I was living and ever since I've heard that many feel the same.
So here′s to all the ramblers who're still looking for directions
Put your arms around your lovers, those with which you roam
Sometimes happiness is closer than some of you might think
And somewhere down the road you'll find your home.
I left one very early morning, grabbed my bags and my belongings, my guitar and my ideas and headed straight up north
Felt like Christoph Columbus and the fact that I had satnav, didn′t make much of a difference, I still strayed back and forth.
I took the high road, took the low road, didn′t know where I was going
So I traveled many countries, came through many different towns
And many times I couldn't sleep and didn′t know what I was doing
Mostly tried in vain to disarray my doubts.
If you're searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
If you′re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go
Just go where your heart tells you to go


I found home in many places, unexpectedly at times, on the banks of English rivers and in deep, dark German woods
In the arms of many girls, whose names have slipped my mind, in empty bars and motels that I had to leave for good.
See a candle burn at midnight in a darkened window frame
Stay up late and watch the sunrise by a clear blue mountain lake
Meet a stranger in a pub and ask him for his name
And listen to his story, just for conversations sake.
If you're searching for a home, just go where your heart tells you to go
If you′re searching for a home, just go where your heart tells you to go
Just go where your heart tells you to go.
After all my travels, all the years I spent in search, for a place to call my home, for a place where I belong
There is just this one and only truth that emerged, if you love what you are doing, darling, you will find your home.
If you don't know what to do, just do what your heart tells you to do
And if you don't know what to say, just say what your heart tells you to say.
And if you′re searching for a home, just go where your heart tells you to go.
