Title: American Idol Songwriting Competition - "Heart Is My Home" View count: 3353 Rating: 3.25 (8 ratings) Description: American Idol Songwriting Competition -"Heart Is My Home" - Music & Lyrics by Ricky Guinto. Copyright 2008. Thanks for checking out my song. I wrote this song on March 30, 2008. I didn't realize that the deadline for the Songwriting competition was March 31!!! So, I quickly recorded the song and was able to submit it on time. If I had enough time I would've had the song fully produced with a full band and a better singer. According to AI's website, the judges will judge my song lyrics and content rather than my performance. So, hopefully if it makes it to the Top 20, the voting public will take that into consideration as well! Just picture your favorite American Idol belting out this song, high notes and all! (Many times American Idols change the key of a song in order to fit their voice and to hit high notes, and this is no exception to this song.) In case you're wondering I'm rooting for Ramiele Malubay and David Archuleta! I do thank you for listening, I welcome any and all constructive criticisms, questions, compliments, or just to drop a line and say hello. If by chance this song makes it to the top 20, please vote for me!!! Take Care, Ricky Guinto - www.rickyguinto.com Here's the lyrics. "Heart Is My Home" -- Music & Lyrics by Ricky Guinto (Copyright 2008) VERSE I Home is where I started from it's changing towards my way Last year I was just a child today it's my day Won't forget where I came from I won't forget my past Tomorrow is a bright new day I know it's gonna last CHANGE I never would thought I would be here CHORUS I'm never gonna look back Always reaching for the stars Take me to the place I love This time I'm gonna soar If you find me down the road I will be right by your side Just hold on to my hand We won't go down without a fight Tomorrow will be my new highway My heart is my home VERSE II Couldn't believe the trails I made I couldn't believe all the love Somehow I found the strength to stay I'm rising up above Listening to my inner self When the going's getting tough Like the rising tide it's gonna fill I could never get enough love CHANGE I never would've thought I would be here I prayed from the start now it's so clear CHORUS I'm never gonna look back Always reaching for the stars Take me to the place I love This time I'm gonna soar If you find me down the road I will be right by your side Just hold on to my hand We won't go down without a fight Tomorrow will be my new highway Today is when I knew I would see My heart is my home... BRIDGE Life can take you anywhere it's where you want to go Listen to your heart it will take you to your goal Never let those people in who will try to take you down Just hold on to the love, hold on to your home CHORUS I'm never gonna look back Always reaching for the stars Take me to the place I love This time I'm gonna soar If you find me down the road I will be right by your side Just hold on to my hand We won't go down without a fight Tomorrow will be my new highway Today is when I knew I would see My heart is my home...
