HALFWAY HOME (THE EARTHLING, 1980)

The Earthling is an adventure-drama starring William Holden. He plays Patrick Foley, a former drifter who resides in an isolated Australian Valley where he was born. He then met Shawn (Rick Schroder), a city boy whose parents were killed in an accident. The two bonded together and Patrick teaches Shawn how to survive in the wilderness. This is one of Schroder's childhood acting and one of Holden's last movies.

HALFWAY HOME

sung by: Maureen McGovern

The roads seems so long
I hope I’ll be strong
Afraid on my own, I think of you
I’m halfway home

Two miles, worlds apart
You reached for me and touched my heart
And oh, how I’ve grown
Alone again but halfway home

Who am I without you there
Will my dream be worth a dream if you can’t share it
I was lost until you came
Now you’re gone but like you said I’m not the same

I’m not sure what will be
But part of you, I take with me
Afraid but not alone, ‘cause you’re part of me
I’m halfway home

I’m not sure what will be
But part of you, I take with me
Afraid but not alone, ‘cause you’re part of me
I’m halfway home
