Sample Lyrics:

Chorus
Do you have a special place, Can you tell me?
Do you have a special place, Can you tell me?
’Cause everyone in the human race,
Needs to have a special place;
Do you have a special place, Can you tell me?

Verse 1
Alice had her Wonderland,
Peter Pan flew to Never Never Land.
The Grand Old Duke of York and Jack and Jill,
Were very fond of the top of the hill!
Aladdin had his golden lamp,
Dear old Shrek loved living in the swamp.
Humpty Dumpty sat for awhile on the wall;
My mum, she loves going to the Mall!

‘When the uniqueness of a place sings to us like a melody, then we will know, at last, what it means to be at home.’ ~ Paul Gruchow
