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” | |
Chorus | |
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 | |
Chorus |
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" | |
Chorus | |
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 | |
