Home - Stephanie Mills

When I think of home

I think of a resting place

A place where there’s peace, quiet, and serenity

And that’s where some of my friends have gone

Friends who have traveled with me through my wonderful experience in Oz

A journey I’ll never forget

When I think of home, I think of a place

Where’s there’s love overflowing

I wish I was home, I wish I was back there

With the things I’ve been knowing

Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning

Suddenly the raindrops that fall they have a meaning

Sprinkling the scene

Makes it all clean

(When I think of home)

Maybe there’s a chance for me to go back

Now that I have some direction

(Maybe there’s a chance I’ll get home)

It sure would be nice to be back at home

Where there’s love and affection

And just maybe I can convince time to slow up

Giving me enough time, ooh, in my life to grow up

Time be my friend

And let me start again

Suddenly my world’s gone and changed its fate

But I still know where I’m going

I have had my mind spun around in space

And watched it growing

And oh, if you’re listening, God, please don’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

Living here in this brand new world

Might be a fantasy

But it’s taught me to love, oh yeah

And it’s real, it’s so real, it’s real to me

And I’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 smiling down on me

Giving 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 telling me

Stephanie, please sing my song

I want to sing, I want to shout

I want to tell you what it’s all about, yeah

(When I think of home)
