I Want To Go Home

In the new play I’m working on with Playwright Jill Jaysen, and Dr. Jennifer Wider (working title: “BeautyFull”) there is a moment when Iris realizes that the “One-Derfull” Kingdom of Konformity isn’t all it’s advertised. This is the song she sings at that transformational moment.

Please Note: Listen with headphones! (It makes a difference really!)

Lyrics:

I Want to Go Home | 3/16/2010 | Song # 412

I want to go home.
Where the faces are friendly
Where I don’t feel like an enemy behind the lines
I want to go home
Where songs are still sung
By kids allowed to play outside in the sun
I want to go home
Where sunflowers bloom
And there’s plenty of room to stretch out and run

Refrain:
I want to go home

I want to go home
Where helium balloons still escape
From the hands of small children at the firemen’s parade
I want to go home
Where you can watch them fly
Up into the sky and finally out of sight

Refrain:

I want to go home.
Where the porch rocking chair creaks
and fireflies blink on muggy summer nights
I want to go home
Where it’s not against the law to think
And you’re free to wonder at the speed of light

Bridge:
Where the don’t tell you who you’re supposed to be
Where they don’t sell you the version of you
That everyone else is supposed to see

Refrain:

I want to go home
Where your spirits are lifted
And everyone’s gifted with creativity
I want to go home
If we all insisted that it really existed
Maybe it would come to be?
