(to the tune of home on the range)

VERSE 1

Oh, give me the day,
with no soccer to play,
and no doctor's appointments to meet,
but let me stay home
and take care of my own,
and my life will be peaceful and sweet,
home, home all the day,
where children study and play,
where seldom is heard
the "hurry up word,
and the van's in the carport all day!

VERSE 2

Oh give me a morn,
where no shoes must be worn
for the kiddos have no place to be;
and the Mom mustn't meet;
oh that day would be sweet!
and would be such a blessing to me!
Home, Home all the day
Where the children study and play
where seldom is heard,
the hurry up word,
and the van's in the carport all day!

VERSE 3

Oh give me the days
when we all wear P.J.s
and the studies don't start until ten.
Where we snuggle with books
or we learn to be cooks
and little voices beg "Do it again!"
Home, Home all the day
Where the children study and play
where seldom is heard,
the hurry up word,
and the van's in the carport all day!

VERSE 4

Oh give me a place
with a smile on each face
where we finger-paint lions and bears
No one says "What a mess!"
We just feel very blessed
for the moment when everyone shares!
Home, Home all the day
Where the children study and play
where seldom is heard,
the hurry up word,
and the van's in the carport all day!

VERSE 5

Oh give me the hours
where we study wildflowers
and wonder at the sight of the bees
Where science is fun
in the afternoon sun
and our lunchroom is under the trees
Home, Home all the day
Where the children study and play
where seldom is heard,
the hurry up word,
and the van's in the carport all day!

VERSE 6


Oh, give me a day with no packed lunches to make,
and no tears and the stomach ache fake,
Oh let me stay home,
though it might take a loan,
and the dishes and laundry can wait.
Home, Home all the day
Where the children study and play
where seldom is heard,
the hurry up word,
and the van's in the carport all day!

VERSE 7 (Just added)

Oh give me a home,
where the daddy won't roam,
but is welcomed at the end of the day,
where dinner's a treat, his words and laughter so sweet,
And his worship and teaching hold sway
Home, Home all the day
Where the children study and play
where seldom is heard,
the hurry up word,
and the van's in the carport all day!
