My Hometown - Eilen Jewell

If sweetness had a sound

It would sound like my hometown

The summer sprinklers turning on

The endless ice cream song

Cold river rushing by

The ducks and geese in flight

The silence in between

All the sights unseen

It would sound like my hometown

If sweetness had a sound

If kindness could be held

It would feel like where I’m from

The soft greeting of a neighbor

The warm hand of a stranger

Patience each with the other

Embracing a sister or brother

If I could hold it in my palm

To the world I’d pass it on

Or to any who might not have found

The kindness of my hometown

If sweetness had a sound

It would sound like my hometown

The summer sprinklers turning on

The endless ice cream song

Cold river rushing by

The ducks and geese in flight

The silence in between

All the sights unseen

It would sound like my hometown

If sweetness had a sound
