Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

We leave home expecting to find a blue bird,
Hoping ev'ry cloud will be silver lined.

You'll see your castle in Spain, through your window pane,
Back in your own back yard.
Oh you can go to the East go to the West,
But someday you'll come weary at heart back where you started from,
You'll find your happiness lies, right under your eyes,
Back in your own backyard.
