From high in the sky  Through the clouds and rain  Every familiar field  Seems like an old friend  When every hand that you shake  Is like a warm embrace  Could only be one sweet place  Home and the Heartland  Sing out your songs and  Ring out your stories and rhymes  Weave from your dreams those mystical  Dances that lead us to bind in heart and mind  As we circle the world  With our wandering airs  Gathering here and there  Leaving behind our share  Like the leaves in the wind  They are blown along  Each melody rising from  Home and the Heartland
