"Home Again"
(Performed by Anastasia Ashworth [Joan Of Arc], Jonathan Pryce [Jacques Of Arc], Jane Seymour [Isabelle Of Arc], Christian Bale [Pierre Of Arc], Paul Eiding [Jacquemin Of Arc], & Corey Burton [Jean Of Arc])

JACQUES OF ARC:
Darling daughter, you've returned
From the battlefield at last!
I can't believe it's you I'm seeing,
But here you are, back home with us!

ISABELLE OF ARC:
Dearest daughter, look at you!
My word...You've grown up so fast!
I can't believe it!  Am I dreaming?
Is this the girl we've missed so much?

JACQUEMIN OF ARC:
So much has happened to us, Joan,
In the weeks that you've been gone,
Though it's not nearly as exciting
As what I'm sure you've been through!

JEAN OF ARC:
So, what has happened at Chinon?
What adventures have you been on?
What sort of battles have you been fighting?
Tell us everything, won't you?

PIERRE OF ARC:
Jean, please be patient!  I'm quite sure
She'll tell her stories 'ere too long...
But for now, I'm just glad to see
Our little sister back in our domain...

JOAN:
Indeed, your precious *petite souer*
Has been gone for so, so long...
But she's returned to Domremy,
And, now, she's come home again...

JACQUES, ISABELLE, PIERRE, JEAN, & JACQUEMIN OF ARC (singing in unison):
Oh, how our hearts all grew sore
In the days that you were gone,
But, now, our hearts are filled with glee,
Now that you've come home again...

(Song ends)
Allow me to introduce the fifteenth of the songs I've written for one of my many (animated) movie projects: "The Story Of Joan Of Arc". :D As you can tell, it's a cinematic retelling of the story of the teenage heroine of medieval France...with a few Disney-esque twists (i.e., entertaining sidekicks, one talking animal, plenty of musical numbers, & some mild instances of artistic license, but mainly in the portrayal of a few certain characters' personalities).

This song, "Home Again", is performed by Joan Of Arc & her family, after the former's return to her village in the days before Dauphin Charles VII's coronation. So, what do you think of the song? :) Do tell me your thoughts! :D

(Oh, & I was too lazy to format the HTML right now, but I'll take care of that ASAP. ;) )
