[Verse 1]
I came in worn and thin
With the week still on my skin
Boots wet from the field
Hands tight like a seal
The hill kept its old watch
The peat held a quiet touch
And I let my shoulders fall
In the long grass under all
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the wind found my name
Soft as rain on stone
It said, come on home
Come on home
[Chorus]
Let the land hold me now
Let the land hold me now
(hold me now)
Let the water take the ache
Wash it from my bones
Let the land hold me now
Let the land hold me now
(wash me clean)
I was split wide open
Now I feel whole
[Verse 2]
By the stream in the shade
I laid down what fear had made
Every thorn in my chest
Slowly loosened and left
The reeds bent to the sky
Like they knew me walking by
And the mud on my hands
Looked like mercy in my hands
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the wind found my name
Soft as rain on stone
It said, come on home
Come on home
[Chorus]
Let the land hold me now
Let the land hold me now
(hold me now)
Let the water take the ache
Wash it from my bones
Let the land hold me now
Let the land hold me now
(wash me clean)
I was split wide open
Now I feel whole
[Bridge]
No more carrying the night
No more bracing for the fight
I can kneel where I am
And be safe in the ground
[Final Chorus]
Let the land hold me now
Let the land hold me now
(hold me now)
Let the water take the ache
Wash it from my bones
Let the land hold me now
Let the land hold me now
(wash me clean)
I was split wide open
Now I feel whole
