Rita MacNeil - Home I'll Be lyrics

rate me

I see the mountains feel the salt air

I have reasons to behold

All the wonders that never cease to be

You're as timeless as the water

You're as gentle as the fields

I caress you, Oh Cape Breton, in my dreams

And you never let the hard times

Take away your soul

And you stopped the tears from falling

As you watched the young ones go

You're as peaceful as a clear day

You're as rugged as the seas

I caress you, Oh Cape Breton, in my dreams

And home I'll be,

Home I'll be

Banish thoughts of leaving,

Home I'll be

I see the blue lakes feel the passion

I have reasons to believe

There are places that will bring you to your knees

I hear voices they are calling

I have reason to pay heed

I caress you, Oh Cape Breton, in my dreams

And you kept your arms wide open

To let your children know

Wherever there is distance

The heart is always home

You're as soulful as a choir

You're as ancient as the hills

I caress you, Oh Cape Breton, in my dreams

And home I'll be,

Home I'll be

Banish thoughts of leaving,

Home I'll be

And home I'll be,

Home I'll be

Banish thoughts of leaving,

Home I'll be

Banish thoughts of leaving,

Home I'll be
