home

Stephanie Mills

When I think of home
I think of a resting place
A place where thereââ?¬â?¢s peace, quiet, and serenity
And thatââ?¬â?¢s where some of my friends have gone
Friends who have traveled with me through my wonderful experience in Oz
A journey Iââ?¬â?¢ll never forget

When I think of home, I think of a place
Whereââ?¬â?¢s thereââ?¬â?¢s love overflowing
I wish I was home, I wish I was back there
With the things Iââ?¬â?¢ve been knowing

Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning
Suddenly the raindrops that fall they have a meaning
Sprinklinââ?¬â?¢ the scene
Makes it all clean

(When I think of home)
Maybe thereââ?¬â?¢s a chance for me to go back
Now that I have some direction
(Maybe thereââ?¬â?¢s a chance Iââ?¬â?¢ll get home)
It sure would be nice to be back at home
Where thereââ?¬â?¢s love and affection

And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Givinââ?¬â?¢ me enough time, ooh, in my life to grow up
Time be my friend
And let me start again

Suddenly my worldââ?¬â?¢s gone and change its fate
And I still know where Iââ?¬â?¢m going
I have had my mind spun ââ?¬Ë?round in space
And watched it growing

And oh, if youââ?¬â?¢re listening, God, please donââ?¬â?¢t make it hard
To know if we should believe the things that we see
Tell us should we try and stay or should we run away (Should we run away)
Or will it be better just to let things, let them be, oh

Livinââ?¬â?¢ here in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But itââ?¬â?¢s taught me to love, oh, yeah
And itââ?¬â?¢s real, itââ?¬â?¢s so real, itââ?¬â?¢s real to me

And Iââ?¬â?¢ve learned that we must look
Inside our hearts to find
A world full of love
Like yours, like mine

Like home
Like, like home
(When I think of home)
My friends smilinââ?¬â?¢ down on me
Givinââ?¬â?¢ me their energy, oh
(When I think of home)
I think of a peaceful world and joy
All around me, yeah
(When I think of home)
And love that we share can never
Never, ever be taken away from me, yeah, yeah, yeah
(When I think of home)
I just sit down and think
And gets on down in my bone, bone, yeah
(When I think of home)
I can hear my friends tellinââ?¬â?¢ me
Stephanie, please sing my song
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna tell you what itââ?¬â?¢s all about
