Lyrics

Opened up the daylight found me
Sitting underneath an old tree
Clearing up what once was cloudy
Knowing most of all, I'm happy

All my life, I've waited for this day,
I am home again
And oh my life, you helped me find the way
I am home again

Have a new direction facing
Now I'm sought instead of chasing
Time to slow down no more racing
Spend some time at home, embracing

All my life, I've waited for this day,
I am home again
And oh my life, you helped me find the way
I am home again

Nothing in the air but singing
Music plays in harmony
everything around is ringing
Happiness at last found me
Happiness at last found me

All my life, I've waited for this day,
I am home again
And oh my life, you helped me find the way
I am home again

Trivia

I remember writing this song back in 1972. We had been on tour promoting Off The Shelf and now it was time to write some new stuff. The whole band, Mark, Rick Carlos and John Mauceri, and I all lived in a great old house in Hollywood. I would sit out on that front porch shaded by some really old trees and playing away until a song would work it's way to the surface. This song was about how euphoric I felt about my career and life at that moment. I really felt at home! I am very happy this one came!
——John Batdorf

Without a doubt, one of my all-time favorite B & R songs. The original album (Batdorf & Rodney) came out the year Richard Nixon invited me to "be all that I could be", so it has a special significance for me. This was always the first song I'd pop onto the turntable whenever I'd come home on leave, and when I had finally completed my obligation. 12-stringer (talk/contribs)
