Home Lyrics

I return to where so long ago I started

As a portion of completeness quickly parted

Chasing answers to the questions I had never sought to own

I know where I belong when I am home

As a reckoning of virtue, I imagined

I would move the common plow with simple passion

But a winnowing of wisdom left the seeds that I now own

I know where I belong when I am home

When I am home

No mortal stone can break upon my fate

No blade can change the blood from which I'm made

When thickly, cold, and quickly come the mists of the unknown

I know where I belong when I am home

So I medicated as a good employee

And invested in a company as family

But the payment I received was nothing but an empty loan

I know where I belong when I am home

When I am home

No mortal stone can break upon my fate

No blade can change the blood from which I'm made

When thickly, cold, and quickly come the mists of the unknown

I know where I belong when I am home

When I am home

No glamor can affect what I believe

Or hammer kill the things I'll always need

I know the town, I know the street

I feel it in my feet

As I wonder at existence and its meaning

I awaken in the labyrinth of dreaming

To the understanding that as long and late as I can roam

I know where I belong

When I am home

The eyes of truth that follow me are mine

I am the person whom I'd hoped to find

I am the steady earth within the clay that has been thrown

I know where I belong when I am home

I am the welcome rest between the towns where I have flown

I know where I belong when I am home

I know where I belong

When I am home
