“No Place Like Home” is a melancholy meditation on the uncomfortable fact that humanity may be on track to make the Earth unfit for human habitation. Since there is nowhere else for us to live, this would be the end of the human race.
[Intro]
A song of truth and beauty for you
[Verse 1]
In the bigger scheme of things
We haven't been around here more than a moment
And yet too many, it seems, believe
We are creating a brand new world around us
We are creating a brand new world without us
Maybe it really is okay
Although we're digging our own graves at this moment
If we should all just disappear
The skies and waters will clear in a world without us
[Chorus]
And there's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
To return to
[Verse 2]
We push against the rest of life
As if we can survive without the world around us
Can't have a rainbow without the rain
Can't have a painting without the pain
Can't have a lover walk out without the love leaving with them
[Chorus]
There's no place like home
No place like home
To return to
And there's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
To return to
And there's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
To return to
And there's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
To return to
