A song about the two most important things we have. Our kids and our planet!
Story behind the song
An upbeat number with a double entendre for the phrase "Make It Home" of which I'm rather proud.
Lyrics
Make It Home
I just want to shout, and make the world OK,
I just want to shout, it doesn’t have to be this way,
Want to shout, and tell the world that harmony can start today,
And walking arm in arm we’ll put the kids up on our shoulders, singing
“Please when you get older, make it home.”
I just want to shout, and sing it from the heart,
I just want to run, and let the healing start,
I just want to shout, can’t get along when we’re apart,
And where your travels take you, Open both your arms and say,
You’ll make the world a better place,
Just make it home.
Make it home, make it home,
In the cool light of reason, see the forest for the trees and, make it home
Make it home, make it home,
The world is what we make it, so for yours and heaven’s sake, make it home.
Make it home, make it home,
The world is what we make it, so for yours and heaven’s sake, make it home.
I just want to see, A bridge across the great divide,
I just want to see, it getting better on the other side,
I just want to see, and not believe my eyes,
When the kids that rode our shoulders,
Turn to women, men and soldiers,
We’ll sing “please when you get older, make it home.”
Make it home, make it home,
In the cool light of reason, see the forest for the trees and, make it home
Make it home, make it home,
The world is what we make it, so for yours and heaven’s sake, make it home.
The world is getting sick and tired, of always feeling sick and tired,
The growing pains it feels today, may never really go away,
This planet’s piping hot, but it’s the only one we got so make it home.
I just want to run, and shout it far and wide,
I just want to run, can’t keep it all inside,
I just got to run, and keep the fire alive,
And over rolling hills, and running through the crowed cities,
There’s a village here to build,
All my sweat and all my soul I’ll make it home.
