Thread Name: Songs about singing
Subject: Lyr Add: HERE IS MY HOME (Si Kahn)
I just had to mention one of my favourite songs, which is really about how singing brings us together:

HERE IS MY HOME
(Si Kahn)

Good friends from whom we now must part,
Where are we bound?
Your hands and voices lift my heart;
Here is my home.

CHORUS:
Come darkness, come light
Where are we bound?
Come morning, come night
Here is my home.

For those who work in harmony,
Where are we bound?
Can learn to live in unity;
Here is my home.

If we can join ourselves in song,
Where are we bound?
Our hearts will live when we are gone;
Here is my home.

The spirit that finds music here
Where are we bound?
Will sing forever in the air
Here is my home.


Also, a friend of mine, Bill Bekric, has written a lovely song about singing, too. I will have to dig the words out, then type them in here - I know I have them somewhere. It deserves to see the light of day.
