"Home" by Madeline
Verse one:
Home,
This is my home,
I'll never be alone,
'Cause there's a 100,000 other people
Home,
It's always been my home,
It's hard not to love,
These coastal skies I'm under
Chorus one:
Founded by eight men,
They resided here from England
Named for the Earl of Craven,
Though so much has changed since then,
Craven is still my,
Verse two:
Home,
Pleased to say my home,
Is inside one,
of Craven's six cities
Home,
So beautiful,
As we take a stroll,
Downtown New Bern
Chorus two:
Downtown holds the fame,
With it's many bears and Pepsi,
Festivals keep it occupied too,
But no matter how busy it gets sometime,
Craven is still My ...
Verse three:
Home,
Because home is where your heart is,
and my heart is here,
and I hope,
hope is all you want and,
that you decide that,
Craven is your home ,
too

[ A Note from the Artist ]
Ever since I was a small child, Craven County has always been my home. I've watched this small place take a lot of changes throughout the fifteen years that I've been living here. Even if I did leave, I don't think any place will be as much like home as Craven is.
I found my inspiration for this song deep within the roots of the people that live here, because people make up a family. Pretty much all the people here have this one thing in common, artisticness. I mean, you look around and there's art everywhere. Whether it be the sculptures, the accidental artist, the farmers market, the bank of the arts; There's just an abundance of art. I wanted to highlight that by making this song in a way that I share this same artisticness and for people to appreciate the things of our county. Another thing is that this was my first song I've ever really made, just as Craven is my first home area.
So since im saying all this about a home, what makes this a home to me? A home is where there's people who are there for you to support you. They make up a family who doesn't leave behind anyone. All of the family is different in some way, and they are all unique. which is great because one can contribute with their talent. That's like us. Also, when I think of home I think of the 'vintage' times in the 50s, with hand painted signs and black and white or sepia photos. Being that New Bern, the city I've called home, has just recently surpassed 300 years since being founded, I call that vintage. I mean deep down if you look at some of the things, you can see the leftover vintageness lingering happily along buildings.
All in all, I hope that whatever you find in a home is what you will you will find in Craven County.
