Home Again

[Style:

Orchestral pop / cinematic ballad

• Piano and strings at the forefront

• Gentle percussion building to swelling crescendos

• Emotional, layered vocals

• Choir-like backing in the chorus for a spiritual, expansive feel]

[Theme:

Reflection, gratitude, reconciliation

Coming home to yourself after the battles with fear

Hope, love, and peace]

Ah…

Finally… breathing

Finally… here

I’ve walked through shadows, I’ve fought my pain

Raced with my demons in the pouring rain

I’ve fallen, I’ve cried, I’ve lost my way

But I kept moving, day after day

Hands that trembled now reach for the light

Eyes that doubted now finally see right

Every scar, every tear, every lonely night

Led me here, led me home tonight

I hear her laughter, I feel her hand

I hear my heart finally understand

All the battles, all the fear I’ve known

Brought me closer, closer to home

Home again, I’ve found my place

Heart on my sleeve, soul full of grace

Through the storms, through the fight

I’ve learned to love, I’ve learned to shine

Home again, no more running blind

Peace in my mind, love intertwined

Every loss, every tear, every lonely road

Brought me back, brought me back home

I see my grandma smiling down from above

Her whispers of faith, her endless love

I hear my parents’ echoes, mistakes and all

I forgive, I grow, I answer the call

Lessons I carried, fears I’ve slain

Memories of hurt now turned to gain

I hold her close, I hold him near

All the voices I’ve lost, I finally hear

I hear her laughter, I feel her hand

I hear my heart finally understand

All the battles, all the fear I’ve known

Brought me closer, closer to home

Home again, I’ve found my place

Heart on my sleeve, soul full of grace

Through the storms, through the fight

I’ve learned to love, I’ve learned to shine

Home again, no more running blind

Peace in my mind, love intertwined

Every loss, every tear, every lonely road

Brought me back, brought me back home

I am whole, I am me

Fear can’t touch what I believe

I’ve been broken, I’ve been strong

Every note of my life, a song

Home again, I’ve found my place

Heart on my sleeve, soul full of grace

Through the storms, through the fight

I’ve learned to love, I’ve learned to shine

Home again, no more running blind

Peace in my mind, love intertwined

Every loss, every tear, every lonely road

Brought me back, brought me back home

Finally… breathing

Finally… home… again…
