A Song About Home

August 13, 2015 by Mark Shepard

A Song About Home

30141995_sEver feel that longing
for something?

Solid and real. Safe and Secure?

Where you can feel totally at Home?

Where you can just be yourself?

Where people “Get” YOU?

I wrote a song about it. (ok probably more than one).

But THIS ONE kind of nails it.

For some reason it has been playing in my head since I performed it on Sunday at Unity.

I thought you might like to get it stuck in your head too! It’s the least I can do right? LOL

It was originally part of the musical “BeautyFull”.

Our heroine has just been ejected unpleasantly from the “Kingdom of Conformity” and hasn’t yet discovered that her banishment is actually the best thing that could happen to her. So for the moment she’s kind of in a place of self pity. Stuck. She doesn’t stay there long but we’ve all had those moments.

I could also honestly admit that this song is not really just about this kid in a musical. It’s about all of us.

Meister Eckhart said, “God is at Home. We are in the far country.”

I think this longing we feel is a tug towards “Source”. Whatever that is.

The metaphor of “Home” with a capital “H” shows up a lot in my songs. And for the record, I have moved something like 16 times since 1985. So yeah, home is a big deal for me. And I guess the lesson I’ve been learning is that regardless of the external location, for the time being my body is my home away from home.

Welcome home! [Note: I’ve got a gift for you at the bottom of this post so make sure you scroll all the way down]

I Want to Go Home

3/16/2010 | Song # 412 | CD: Home Across The Sea

I want to go home.
Where the faces are friendly
Where I don’t feel like an enemy behind the lines
I want to go home
Where songs are still sung
By kids allowed to play outside in the sun
I want to go home
Where sunflowers bloom
And there’s plenty of room to stretch out and run

Refrain:
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
Yes I want to go home…

I want to go home
Where helium balloons still escape
From the hands of small children at the firemen’s parades
I want to go home
Where you can watch them fly
Up into the sky and finally out of sight

Refrain:

I want to go home.
Where the porch swing still squeaks
And fireflies blink on muggy summer nights
I want to go home
Where it’s not against the law to think
And you’re free to wonder at the speed of light

Refrain:

Bridge:
Where they don’t tell you who you’re supposed to be
Where they don’t sell you the version of you
That everyone else is supposed to see

I want to go home
Where your spirits are lifted
And everyone’s gifted with creativity
I want to go home
If we all insisted that it really existed
Maybe it would come to be…

Refrain:
=======

Ultimately…

I think that’s really what we are in the process of discovering. This body. This life we are living. The people we grew up with… Somehow none of that quite feels like “home”.

UNTIL.

Until we begin to realize that we can begin to create “HOME” with our thoughts and actions.
