    A Place Called Home

    Hear a dog barkin' in the distance, while reminiscing of the past

    Smells in the air, got me thinkin'

    Got my mind wanderin' of a place called home

    Home where your heart is

    A home filled with love

    No negativity to surround you

    Building a piece that will move your mountains

    You need a home

    Some place call to go

    Here's my numba' and the key

    Don't forget to write

    Don't forget to holla'

    Stay true to who you wanna be

    When you're tired...you need a place called home

    When you're stressin'...you need a place called home

    Home where your heart is

    A place to chill

    A place to feel no fear on 4th and Gill

    Cruisin' down ol' Dodge Street

    In a place called home

    The feelings of excitement

    In a place called home

    Comin' back home

    Didn't miss it, wish I could just go back

    The memories of the good times...were not my own

    So take me back

    Take me back

    to a place called home

    Oh, the memories of what used to be

    Can never be no more

    So take me back

    C'mon now take me back

    to a place of serenity in a place called home

    where the peace inside is never too far gone

    That's quite a tune you have written. Boy oh boy, how much more effective it would be if only to have music with it! Good job. Now I have to ask...would this be a country tune, soul, R+B, or maybe death metal? Let me know.

    yeah...not all into the whole stealin' thing. That's not my bag. I have plenty of my own lyrics and poems...trouble is I couldn't play a single note on any instrument if I were paid to!!!

    well i can sing...so that's how i come up with melodies like i do.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
