Lyrics
I wished on a star, my wishes traveled so far, down a river of desire, on a new blue moon.
Gazed deep into a flame, into that old restless game,and in the memories' inspire, I heard a far off tune:
Home, home, I wanna go there. It's not a place, it's in your heart, it's in there somewhere. And when I hear that magic word, I'm filled with longings I can't name. Like Dorothy said, (you know) there's no place, quite like home.
Home, home, the burdens you bear, will slip away, will disappear, when you get there. And you might find the rainbow's end, is right there in your own back yard. Like Dorothy said (you know) there's no place quite like home.
Home, home, the ones who do care, will gather round, with joy surround you, when you get there. And you might find, the bluebird flies, within your loved ones' smilin' eyes. Like Dorothy said (you know) there's no place quite like home. Like Dorothy said, you know there's no place quite like home.
