Closer To Home |
This is a lovely place that is hard to leave |
And there is a loneliness that we will always grieve |
So give what you can and only take what you need |
And hope you heart will know what you eyes can’t see |
When I was a child I still thought like a child |
And I still feel like a child sometimes |
But I’m learning the farthe3st I’ll travel each day |
Is to the edge of my blindness, and then a little more ways |
We will meet again I’m sure |
Someday when our sorrow s are cured |
And we’ll walk like friends, embrace again |
Much closer to home we’ll be then |
The world will build walls without any doors |
And it is easy to forget what we are climbing them for |
But I saw an angel with hope on it’s face saying |
«There's good work to do, and there is no time to waste» |
We are closer to home, we are closer to home |
We are closer to home that we know |
I felt your should in your fingertips |
And I have held your hand and brushed them to my lips |
And I saw the child that I birthed in my pain |
And when she opened her eyes there were your eyes again |
