Come home

I’m lost and
I want to be found
Dry, cracked ground
is what’s all around me
It’s dead here
It’s hot here
I’m stuck here

“Come home”

I don’t want to stay here
How’d I find my way here?
Oh, I’ve been left here
I’m alone here
No friends here

“Come home”

I can’t move here
Can’t breathe here
Or be free here
No rest here
No relief here
Need to leave here

“Come home”

Of course I’ve roamed
I’m too far gone
Too far from home
I don’t even know
Where home is anymore

“Come home”

I’m tired and I’ve
walked here too long
It’s time to move on
But I can’t
I just can’t

“Why are you hiding?”

You’re right
I am hiding
From the grief
From the pain
Maybe I’ll be safe
If I hide from the rain
All those words
Left a stain
It sounded like you
But it was all works
And no faith

“Come home”

Your voice and
Your gentleness
I hear You
I remember it
My argument
I surrender it
Because You see me
I’ve been hiding from You
Just like Eve
In the garden
Ashamed and in pain
I’ve been hiding

“Come home”

Okay, but if
I do come home
Will You show me
the way?
Because right now
The only thing I can do
Is take one wobbly step
toward You
If I do come home
Will you hide me
someplace else?
From all of these things?
Someplace like
The shadow of
Your wings?
