# Home Is More Than Four Walls *Track 10 — Langley Corey* [Spoken Intro — warm piano, soft violin] My babies... A house is something you live in. But a home? A home is somewhere your heart can breathe. [Verse 1 — haunting female vocals, acoustic Celtic guitar] I used to think that home was a door, A roof, a window, a wooden floor. Somewhere to lay my weary head, Four little walls and a place for a bed. But walls can stand while hearts feel cold, And rooms can echo with words untold. I learned that having somewhere to stay Doesn't always mean you're safe that way. [Pre-Chorus — violin rising] Oh, how I wish somebody knew, The kind of home I needed too. [Chorus — soaring electric violin, warm Norse drums] Home is more than four walls, More than pictures in a hall! It's where you don't have to hide your tears, Where love grows stronger through the years! It's where your laughter fills the air, Where being different isn't something to fear. And when the world feels cold and small, May you find a love that feels like home! [Verse 2 — Celtic fiddle, driving indie rock] To my boys, you can build your own Kind of peace when you're fully grown. A place where kindness isn't weak, Where everyone has room to speak. And my girl, don't ever stay Where your joy gets slowly pushed away. You deserve a place to dream, To dance, to laugh, to shout, to sing. And all seven stars beneath my sky, One day you'll spread your wings and fly. I hope you build a life that's true, A home that feels like all of you. [Chorus — full gothic folk-rock] Home is more than four walls, More than pictures in a hall! It's where you don't have to hide your tears, Where love grows stronger through the years! It's where your laughter fills the air, Where being different isn't something to fear. And when the world feels cold and small, May you find a love that feels like home! [Bridge — stripped piano, vulnerable vocals] And if you ever feel alone, Or lose the place you once called home, Remember, you can start again, With open hearts and chosen friends. A home can change, a family grow, And love can travel where you go. You don't have to live the life I knew, To make a beautiful one for you. [Short Electric Violin Solo — 10 seconds] [Final Chorus — triumphant, angelic harmonies] HOME IS MORE THAN FOUR WALLS! It's being caught before you fall! It's knowing you can make mistakes, And still be loved through harder days! May your doors be open to kindness, May your hearts be wild and free! And wherever life may take you, Build the home you deserve to keep! Oh, my babies, through it all— Love is what makes a place feel like home! [Outro — delicate violin, warm whisper] [Softly sung] Seven stars, seven dreams, Seven lives beyond my reach. I'll love the people you become, Wherever you may call your home. [Spoken Outro] My babies... I can't promise life will always be easy. But I hope you always know What it feels like to belong. And wherever you go... You'll always be my children. Love, Mama.
