A piece of pure, wrenching pathos, this song is sung by the Hunchback as he prepares to join his beloved Esmeralda in
her grave.

A Place
Called Home (music and lyrics by Rainey)
|
|
(Sung by the Hunchback:)
A place where one is safe From every wrong A place called home A
place that no one else Can call their own A place called home Home can mean so many different things Especially To those like me Those who've never known Who've never had Anything like home
A house
Isn't nearly the same Just a sheltering stop To get out of the rain Or a room Or some refuge
apart No, a home is a place Where a man keeps his heart
To find a place to stay The heart must
go And give itself away If it's ever to belong Ever to find, find its own way home
Once, I
was only a wanderer Not finding rest or company Knowing the loneliness wouldn't cease Till I lay down My soul to keep
At home, I've found my home My place to rest That I can call my own Where
I won't have to hide From anyone My very own sweet home At last my heart Has found its home sweet
home At last I've found The place that I'll call home
