This article is about the song from Beauty and the Beast. For the song from Frozen II, see Home.
"Home" is a song sung by Belle (originally played by Susan Egan) in the Beauty and the Beast musical.
Summary[]
The number is performed by Belle after taking her father's place as the Beast's prisoner. As the Beast orders her to come to dinner, she mourns her situation. Later to her surprise, she becomes acquainted with a couple of her captor's servants, who while not fully cheering the young girl up, offer Belle their support and friendship, granting her a slight comfort.
In the 2017 film, this song is not sang, but instead is used as a background theme in several key moments.
The song also appears in the Disney+ original series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. In the episode "Yes, And...", Ashlyn (Julia Lester), who plays Belle in the East High's production of Beauty and the Beast, rehearses the song in an attempt to convince Gina (Sofia Wylie) to stay in East High.
Lyrics[]
Yes, I made the choice
For papa, I will stay
But I don't deserve to lose my freedom in this way
You monster!
If you think that what you've done is right, well then
You're a fool!
Think again!
Is this home?
Is this where I should learn to be happy?
Never dreamed
That a home could be dark and cold
I was told
Ev'ry day in my childhood:
Even when we grow old
Home will be where the heart is
Never were words so true!
My heart's far, far away
Home is too
Is this home
Is this what I must learn to believe in
Try to find
Something good in this tragic place
Just in case
I should stay here forever
Held in this empty space
Oh, but that won't be easy
I know the reason why
My heart's far, far away
Home's a lie
What I'd give to return
To the life that I knew lately
But I know that I can't
Solve my problems going back
Is this home?
Am I here for a day or forever?
Shut away
From the world until who knows when
Oh, but then
As my life has been altered once
It can change again
Build higher walls around me
Change ev'ry lock and key
Nothing lasts, nothing holds
All of me
My heart's far, far away
Home and free!
Mrs. Potts:
I hope that we'll be friends,
Though I don't know you well
If anyone can make the most of living here then Belle,
It's you.
Mrs. Potts and Madame De La Grande Bouche:
And who knows
You may find home here too.
