Mood:  lyrical
Been meaning to post these lyrics for a week, just getting around to it. Strange when you find a song from your past that seems to fit what's going on in your present. I performed this in a high school honor choir, don't remember which. It has yet to vacate it's spot in my internal jukebox, for very good reason. Anyway, without any further ado...

Home is a Special Kind of Feeling
Words by David Grant, Music by John Rutter
This song is the finale from The Wind in the Willows, and was originally written for The King's Singers and the City of London Sinfonia.

Home is a special kind of feeling:
The feeling of a place where you belong;
A feeling that the world is left behind you,
Like a shelter from your care
That seems to want you to be there.

Home is that special kind of feeling:
The feeling that you've make it all your own;
Somewhere which you know is really your place;
A place for living;
Your special place, your home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just about says it all, doesn't it? Home sweet home.
Home has a welcome kind of feeling:
The firelight and the warmth of hearth and home;
A welcome that you know will always cheer you,
Like a gentle fond 'hello'
That seems to touch you with a glow.

Home has a quiet kind of feeling:
An island when you need to be alone;
A haven for the times you spend together;
There's nowhere better,
No other place like home.
