                        A piece of pure, wrenching pathos, this song is sung by the Hunchback as he prepares to join his beloved Esmeralda in
                           her grave.

                                  (Sung by the Hunchback:)
  A place where one is safe From every wrong A place called home A
                                    place that no one else Can call their own A place called home Home can mean so many different things Especially To those like me Those who've never known Who've never had Anything like home 
  A house
                                     Isn't nearly the same Just a sheltering stop  To get out of the rain Or a room Or some refuge
                                    apart No, a home is a place Where a man keeps his heart 
  To find a place to stay The heart must
                                    go  And give itself away If it's ever to belong Ever to find, find its own way home 
  Once, I
                                    was only a wanderer Not finding rest or company Knowing the loneliness wouldn't cease Till I lay down My soul to keep 
  At home, I've found my home My place to rest That I can call my own Where
                                    I won't have to hide From anyone My very own sweet home At last my heart Has found its home sweet
                                    home At last I've found The place that I'll call home
