When you think of home, it is not always a physical place or structure. It is a special place where you feel welcome, safe and at ease. It's also an idea - one where the heart is. Randy Newman realizes this when he sings:
A window breaks
Down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see
Through the dark there's a light
The worn trail of life can lead us to a home that changes us. The house we knew may even have broken windows. But love creates a new birthplace. There is a harmony in a good home and a deep affection for all who live there.
I also like Neil Diamond's version of this song. You can feel his emotion a little deeper.
