「家」と「故郷」の違いは何ですか。
Both means "Home", right? What are the main differences?
I heard this word from a song by Natsukawa Rimi (ウンジュの原点(ふるさと). That's why I am thinking that ふるさと(故郷) is a poetic word or something like that...おしえてください。
Another question: what does the word ウンジュ mean from the name of the song? Is it a place?
Here are the link to the video and lyrics, in case you want to hear the song too ;D

To put it simply...
家 means "house".
故郷 means "hometown", and we often use when we remember fondly about our home.
ウンジュ, an Okinawa dialect, means "you" .
Do you understand?
Poetic word... My favorite word is ぬくもり.
