Story Behind The Song
Visiting my fathers grave, made me realize, that no matter how far from the past of our childhood we are, or the distance from our birthplace, we can always be safe in the home we carry in our souls.

Lyrics
HOME Lissa~Käthe©2009
I remember butterflies
The willow on my cheek
'Stand real still,' I heard you say
'Don't you move now, I want to take your picture'
Chorus
It's a long way to go, but it isn't far at all
I want to go home, it's right here
I lay myself across your grave feel your love surround me
You showed me the way in every day
When the sun shone and the rain came down my face
Chorus
It's a long way to go, but it isn't far at all
I want to go home, it's right here
I have held, the stars in my hands
I close my eyes and still I see your face
No matter mistakes I make along the way
Whatever the road, I'm always going home
Chorus
It's a long way to go, but it isn't far at all
I want to go home, it's right here
Come on its time to go, it won't take long at all
Please take me home, take me home
Instrumental
Chorus
It's a long way to go, but it isn't far at all
I want to go home, it's right here
Come on its time to go, it won't take long at all
Please take me home, take me home,
Take me home
