Phillips Phillips is the season eleven winner of America Idol. He made his stand in the world already by writing the song, "Home". To be honest, I am not completely sure what this song is about, but when I hear this song and read the lyrics there is one thought that pops into my head; hurricane Sandy. This wasn't just any hurricane. This hurricane took out so many states and left people homeless and devastated. This song sounds like he is assuring the people that the memories of their home days before the accident, aren't gone yet. Though the road isn't recognizable anymore, people are going to do their best to make it their home again. In a situation like this one, I imagine that you are probably scared, sad, and completely lost of hope. Scared of the bills that have piled up before the accident, added onto the bills it will take to rebuild your house. Sad that all your memories are gone, along with your personal belongings and treasures. To lose hope is something you absolutely do not want to do in this kind of situation. That is where this song steps in to motivate and reassure everybody that they aren't alone. We are a country of help and communication. We will be there for you when you need it. Fund raisers kicked into action and this song is actually the leading song during the advertisement for this cause. I give all my respect to the people who helped write this. It is a great song and it has a great message with it.
Hold on, to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave is stringing us along
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home
Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home
Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home
