This is home

[Verse 1] Morning light on the kitchen floor, coffee cups and open door Laughter echoes down the hall, I can hear my mother’s call Brother’s teasing, sister’s smile, staying with me all the while In this circle, safe and warm, I have weathered every storm [Chorus] This is home, this is where my heart belongs In the circle of the ones who make me strong Through the laughter and the tears, through the passing of the years I will hold them close, I’ll sing this song In the circle of the ones I love so long [Verse 2] Best friend’s shoulder, late-night talks, walking down familiar walks Promises we made in rain, every joy and every pain Family ties that never break, every step for goodness’ sake In this circle, hand in hand, I will always understand [Bridge] When the world feels cold and wide, and I have nowhere left to hide They are the shelter and the light, turning darkness into bright No matter where the road may bend, they are with me to the end [Chorus] This is home, this is where my heart belongs In the circle of the ones who make me strong Through the laughter and the tears, through the passing of the years I will hold them close, I’ll sing this song In the circle of the ones I love so long [Outro] Circle of the ones I love, rising like the stars above Everlasting, true and free, you are everything to me In the circle, I belong, singing on and on and on
