The Promise Is Hope - Home Lyrics

I find myself at 33 years old with an aching in my soul
Like longing for the warmth of a mid-summer's night
While the world's covered in snow
Or like the memory of a place I've never been
A place I once called home
Though I've tried to hide it
It's worn me down to fight the question burning in my bones

I have been longing, longing to know - can I feel settled down in my soul
Can I be deeply secure, can I know it for sure that I am well
That all will be well

I am grateful for my family, friends, and my wife, for the work I was made to do
But those birds rise on the wind, and I wish just like them
To feel at ease in my own skin
This is deep calling out to deep, it is a thirst I cannot quench
I have felt it for some time, my well is running dry
And I am thirsting for some peace

I have been longing, longing to know - can I feel settled down in my soul
Can I be deeply secure, can I know it for sure that I am well
That all will be well

At the end of the day I just want to know that I'm alive
At the end of the day I just want to be

To be home, to be free, for my soul to sing a song called liberty
