LYRICS
Spoken (in Spanish):
Un lugar... un hogar... nuestro hogar.
Un lugar que podemos llamar el nuestro, hacer el nuestro.
Un lugar para vivir, crecer, y ser.
Un pedazo de lo nuestro que compartimos con el mundo.
Un trozo de nuestros corazónes que traemos a la comunidad.
Un mundo de consuelo, y un mundo de calma.
Un mundo... de amor.
English Translation:
A place... a home... our home.
A place we can call our own, make our own.
A place to live, grow, and be.
A piece of us we share with the world.
A piece of our hearts we bring to the community.
A world of comfort, and a world of calm.
A world... of love.
Sung:
A place, a place to live,
a place to grow,
and be.
A place, a place to hope,
a place to dream,
and love...
An end, an end to a journey,
but still we're just beginning:
a place with you,
a place to start anew.
A home, (Un hogar)
a home is our own, (nuestro propia hogar)
yet so much more, (y mucho más)
a world... (un mundo)
A world, (Un mundo)
a world we'll learn, (aprenderemos)
a world we'll bring, (lo traeremos)
and share... (para compartir)
A world of comfort, of calm,
the hope of our family,
a place of love,
of wonder from above...
A place, a place we'll grow,
a place we'll learn,
and share.
A place to call our own,
to make our own...
Our home.
