Much to my regret the profider that hosted my webpages
for more than 25 years has announced that after 1 July
2026 they end the hosting service.
Therefore all my web pages have been moved to another
provider, which means the base URL changes from
https://josvg.home.xs4all.nl/ to http://www.josvg.dds.nl/.
The current page can now be found here.

Sarah Brightman - The journey home

The journey home is never too long
Your heart arrives before the train
The journey home is never too long
Some yesterdays always remain

I'm going back to where my heart was light
When my pillow was a ship, I sailed through the night

Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, ...

The journey home is never too long
When open arms are waiting there
The journey home is never too long
There's room to love and room to spare

I want to feel the way that I did then
And think my wishes through before I wish again

Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, ...

Not every boat you come across is one you have to take
Now sometimes standing still can be the best move you ever make

The journey home is never too long
Home hopes to heal the deepest pain
The journey home is never too long
Your heart arrives before the train

Music & lyrics: A.R. Rahman, Don Black
Ad lib vocals: Shweta Shetty

From: Harem (2003).

Source of the lyrics: thanks to Christian Colding and Attila, with a correction by me and Stephen Coronis and Mark Bliss.

In an article from EMI Canada it says:
"The Journey Home" comes from Indian film composer A.R. Rahman's hit West End Bollywood musical Bombay Dreams, produced in London by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It was Lloyd Webber who brought the song to Brightman's attention.
The song starts in an Indian/Arabic mood, turning disco after the first "Aaah, ..." line.
