I always thought my home was in a person Somewhere outside of me A place where I could finally lay my burdens And just be free But when they left they took the walls around me Like wind through broken doors And I was standing in the silence With nothing anymore For years I wandered through the wreckage Looking for a place to rest Then lightning struck inside my chest A truth I never knew I searched the world for somewhere safe But home was always you You were never gone or lost Just waiting patiently The place my heart was searching for Was living inside me I thought I found my shelter in another A place where I belonged I settled deep inside his arms And felt my spirit strong But when the storm came crashing through the windows And tore the roof away I found myself in shattered rooms With nowhere left to stay Breathless in the quiet Fear echoing through my soul Then lightning struck inside my chest A truth I never knew I searched the world for somewhere safe But home was always you You were never gone or lost Just waiting patiently The place my heart was searching for Was living inside me So I'll hang the curtains in my spirit Let the sunlight fill the halls Open every locked up doorway Write my name upon the walls I'll unpack every broken piece And finally let them be Because the home I thought I'd lost Was always here with me Lightning still burns in my chest A fire I can't deny The home I thought was somewhere else Was here the whole damn time No one else can take these keys Or leave me wandering free The place my heart was searching for Is living inside me I am my own shelter My heart is finally free I was never really homeless Home… Is me.
