[Eternia, Rel McCoy, SHEAL , Shad - HOME lyrics]
Wrote a letter to home sent it to nowhere
With no return address
Riding the trains like I'm homeless
I prayed to God before I wrote this
May She fill me up and pour
Me out for y’all to digest say the Word
I'm transported to a pain that's unheard of
A place that’s of concern
Maybe I can find a way to share and Unlearn
Reflect on what occurred
My past is just absurd listen:
About 15 schools, 5 states
Plus 5 cities in the province
Of the Great Lakеs
3 countries And relationships?!
C'mon I lost count
Of how many dudes I thought would
Fill thе pain that I felt
Between the train tracks
Tarmacs and bus shelters I roam
Every time I pack up the pain grows
I don't expect you to know unless you know:
That feeling like you don't belong
Searching for home
Wrote a letter to my home
I couldn't stand there on your
Doorstep in the cold
Did you know I had to go? I had to go
You are beautiful, familiar, calm, my centre
Just like my moccasins fit warm in winter
You are safe, a feeling
Grace without measure
All the brokenness gathered up
And held together
You are true, loyal, do or die forever
Anywhere I roam you follow me
And make it better
You are Life, Peace, every good endeavour
When I stop trying and be still You enter
(You are within me… You are within me)
Rwanda made me london raised me
Van city saved me toronto paid me
Now my home is a lady i was only a baby
I was going crazy alone having a name
Ain't the same as being known
I guess just having homies
Won't make you feel at home
Nothing lonely as a throne
You don't get it til it’s gone
Or you grown how to really love the land
That you on and be strong
How to stand on the stone
Not the sands that get blown
I was shown how to root
Proceed to grow seeds
That fall and grow trees
In fall that grow leaves
We leave and folks grieve
But it’s easier to breathe now
When what gets cut can't touch
What is deep down that’s the forest
I explore in my heart some of the places
I was nourished we now furthest apart
And when I'm hurtin down in the dirt
I start to search in the dark
For how the whole earth can flourish
Be encouraged to start right at home
Wrote a letter to my home
I couldn't stand there on your
Doorstep in the cold
Did you know I had to go? I had to go
Couldn't stand there on your
Doorstep in the cold
(Did you know I had to go, I had to)
Couldn’t stand there on your
Doorstep in the cold
We are starved for the unknown
And all the places within us are home
With no return address
Riding the trains like I'm homeless
I prayed to God before I wrote this
May She fill me up and pour
Me out for y’all to digest say the Word
I'm transported to a pain that's unheard of
A place that’s of concern
Maybe I can find a way to share and Unlearn
