LYRICS:
In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red,
When the summer's ceased its gleaming
When the corn is past its prime,
When adventure's lost its meaning -
I'll be homeward bound in time
Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow
If you find it's me you're missing
If you're hoping I'll return,
To your thoughts I'll soon be listening,
And in the road I'll stop and turn
Then the wind will set me racing
As my journey nears its end
And the path I'll be retracing
When I'm homeward bound again
Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow
(louder)
Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow

You probably won’t see this but a lot of my friends are graduating tomorrow and our choir and theater director have chosen your song for them to sing tomorrow. Luckily the rest of the choir and some of the theater department is joining to sing along with them and wish them a final farewell.

I know you won't see this because this is an old video and you have a ton of comments but I feel I need to share this. As you started to talk at the end of this video I started to cry and I can't stop. What you said about that girl really hit home for me and I don't know why I am sharing with you what I am about to but I feel I need to. Earlier this year I tried to take my own life because I have been dealing with things personally that made me feel I shouldn't live anymore. After surviving that I realized that yes I want to be "Homeword Bound" but on Gods time and not mine. Thank you Peter. Thank you so much for all that you do through your music and I hope one day I can meet you and thank you in person. ❤️

Oh this hit me so hard. Io was in my PE class and she was one of the funniest, amazing people I have ever met. During warmups I always loved to run with her around the gym because her personality was so vibrant and she was an amazing influence on my life at the time because I was at a difficult place in my life. One day she stopped showing up to PE. I asked one of my friends what happened and she said that she got sick. I thought she meant she had the flu so I didn't think about it much. She didn't show up for the rest of the year. My life started to get busy after that and 2 weeks later summer started so I gave little to no thought about her. She was in the grade above me, so she went to the High School after that and I didn't see her again. I don't know much about what happened after that, or if that was the sickness that killed her. But I didn't find out about her death until last June at our choirs end of the year concert, when they were making a speech about her. I asked my friend what happened and that is when I found out she died... I couldn't think straight for the days after and I seen that night bawling in my room. But today I was browsing through my recommended videos and I found this and... this hit hard. Thank you for making this video. Even though I saw this months after she passed, it really touched me personally and I'm sure it touched others. Thank You.

It hit me hard when she passed. She was my best friend since I was in about 4th grade and I hadnt been able to see her once since she had moved. My mom had told me about her getting sick and I was so confident that she would get better because she's so strong and amazing. So when I heard about her death I was just broken. My friend and I sang this song for her wake together and it was so hard not cry singing it. I remember visiting her mom and brother after and I kept expecting her to come upstairs and say my name and hug me like she always did but she never came, and it's the worst feeling knowing I can never see my best friend again.

I suffer from pretty bad social anxiety and mild depression, and he from depression and post traumatic stress. We hit our bad moods at the same time without fail, and whenever we feel hopeless your music is always there for support. Yes he's in therapy and of course I'm on medication, but it's nice to know that good still exists in the world. -Keep being awesome, love Cynthia

@GCKMimi 7 лет назад

My grandfather died in the wee hours of May 24th, and my mother has the task of arranging his funeral. He was a lifelong farmer who got up and went to bed with the sun. I remember visiting and seeing him plowing a field or tending the cows as we drove past, and when it got dark, it wouldn't be long until he came home and it was time for dinner. When Mom was looking for music to play at his funeral, I sent her Homeward Bound, and it was "perfect". It fit my grandfather so well, it was almost written for him. This beautiful arrangement will always remind me of him. Thank you.

Courage and confidence will come, Redhoof. Just keep singing. Try singing in a choir first, then later a quartet or small group. You'll get there! It took until my senior year in high school for me to get to a solo - and I'd been singing since I was 8 years old.

Okay, usually I don't do long comments like this, but in this case I feel that I need to. This past May, my high school was in the exact same situation as this one. One of my fellow choir members, Makayla, was killed in a car accident the week of State Choral Festival. We're a very tight knit community, and all of the choir people were really close, so we all took it pretty hard.

This song makes me weep every time I hear it. My mom and my dad have both requested this at their life celebrations, and it is in my wishes as well. What a homegoing blessing. Thank you for sharing this and the story. We love you.

I found this piece wIhile cleaning up my music room today, & I remembered my daughters singing it together as teens. It is a precious memory. Your presentation of it, Mr. Hollens, is one I will listen to again & again.

I know this was posted so long ago and perhaps no one will ever see this but the choral director Peter speaks of at the end of this video (Mrs. Perdue) was my choir director all year. She told us all about this song and story and I swear a choir has never teared up all at once so quickly. This was so emotionally devastating and Io did not deserve to have such a short life. I can't stop thinking about this song and I keep coming back to it because it hits me hard every single time.

I am in a women's choir in Hastings High School and we are going to sing Homeward Bound at our next concert. When I saw this video, I almost cried. I plan on showing this to my choir director and see what he thinks. I believe he will have the same reaction I did. Thank you for posting this so the rest of us could enjoy it.

Peter, this was simply breathtaking. I'm always in awe of your videos, but this one in particular is special because of dear lo Korol. God bless your talent and your outreach to the younger committee. I was so moved. I know she looks at this up in Heaven with a huge smile, singin' away without a care in the world. ;)

I'd never heard this song before seeing this video, I had it on repeat for a *while* off and on after. I love this song, I can see why it was her favorite.

@Zip_loverfpe 24 дня назад

I never understood it to until I had too sing since my second grade Principle retired and I even cried when I was sing and even though it's been 7 years it's a good song😌

A kid named will passed away in our school and his favorite band was the Beatles. We made a melody for him. It was a very special concert.

@Tomasthanes 7 лет назад

This is probably my favorite (so far). As Chris mentioned below, I, too, got chills when the choir cuts in. Beautiful, beautiful. Peter, I love how you give so many other people a chance to love singing as they get to sing with you. Keep singing and recording.

@kayleekoch2807 7 лет назад

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for this! I have had numerous family problems these last years, and it's been especially hard lately. As I'm writing this, my eyes are tearing up. I know my problems probably don't matter to a lot of people, but thank you for singing this. You did an AMAZING job Peter, and it has really helped me recently. When I'm especially sad and frustrated with everything going on in my life, I listen to this. Thank you once again for helping me through the tough times!

I just wanted to tell you that your music is something truly amazing. Listening to your songs, and the versions of others you create, gives me peace and happiness, even at times in which I fail to find them anywhere else. I thank you for what you, unknowingly, do for all those of us who are struggling and find comfort in your work. You and your family deserve a good life, and I do hope you get it. Again, Thank you.

Loved, loved, loved this song. Thank you for creating this masterful piece of beauty. It was heart-breaking to learn that such a lovely young person had passed. Thank you, again for honoring her memory.. I cried, too because of the beauty of the lyrics. Your presentation of the song struck sparks. Your voice has become more and more enriched over the last several years. It's a beautiful instrument. God Bless and Keep you and yours.

@kaderloop785 3 года назад

Listened to this a few years ago and came back for God knows what reason... So one of the best songs /videos ever made. This is the kind of songs that made me love your channel. RIP Io. Never knew her, but the sorrow of all her friends there is palpable. It is so great you all could honor her that way.
