Sing-along video with choir vocal.
BOY: My home is kind and warm,
Shelters me from every storm,
It’s only small,
But certainly,
It’s the perfect home for me.
BOY: Everybody needs a home,
But along the way,
I’ve found home,
Isn’t always a place,
Home isn’t always a place!
Home (Reprise) - song 5 from The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse: A Musical for Schools
The play follows a boy, a mole, a fox and a horse as they journey together in the boy’s search for home – a story of kindness, friendship, courage and hope.
Home (Reprise), the fifth song from the play, joins the Boy as he reaches his destination, and comes to his final decision on where he belongs. It appears in Scene 8 and the stage directions suggest, "This song is sung as a solo by the boy, gazing out over the audience as he comes to his epiphany".
