No Place Like Home
there is a place called home,
where I meet my family and friends,
there is a place, where I meet my loved ones,
feeling free, feeling welcomed.
my heart takes me there,
my soul travels along those green leaves,
always having, joyous, squeaking birds,
the dry sand of the mighty river,
I long to lie there, and glance at the cunning monkeys.
the sun so bright and shiny,
beautiful African savanna,
no place like home,
surely no place like home.
how could I forget the sound of the cattle bells,
the barking of dogs, the braying of the donkeys,
the morning crow of the cocks,
surely no place like home.
away in a far away land,
where each man fights for himself,
i can't help thinking about home,
home is marvelous, home is great,
surely home is best.
