Coming Home

I've been chasing around (or is it being chased by?) an idea for a new music project, which has spurred a recent slew of new songs. Here's another new lyric about home.

Coming Home

Living wanderlustfully
Chasing whim and breeze
Looking for a place that’s free
Of fear and expectation

I'm passing me and waving ‘hi’
I never want to say ‘good-bye’
I'm haunted by the question ‘why’
Still seeking affirmation

Worn down from the struggle
Lost another bout
Tired of trying to juggle
Reckless faith and nagging doubt

Coming home where the memories
Are dancing on the walls
Coming home where laughter’s chasing
Footsteps down the hall
Coming home where healing love will
Kiss me when I fall
Oh, I’m coming home

Even safe in my own bed
I get lost in my heart and head
Can’t believe how far I’ve fled
From hope and my salvation

Worn down from the struggle
Lost another bout
Tired of trying to juggle
Reckless faith and nagging doubt
Coming home where the memories
Are dancing on the walls
Coming home where laughter’s chasing
Footsteps down the hall
Coming home where healing love will
Kiss me when I fall
Oh, I’m coming
Oh, I’m coming
Oh, I’m coming home
