Way Back Home

[Verse 1]
I was runnin' from the truth
Chasin' every little lie that would pat my back
Scrollin' screens till the sun came up
Tryna fill that hole with a quick new high, it cracked
Mama prayin' in the next room
I could hear my name but I played that stone
Said I’d call You when I had time
Funny how the dark hits different when you all alone
[Chorus]
I went too far, lost in my head
Heart so cold I thought You left me for dead
But You were there in the silence, waitin' on me
When I fell down hard, You were still my peace
I ran and I ran, still You called my name
Covered in shame, You broke them chains
Thought I lost my faith, but You held on
Now I’m findin’ my way back home (back home)
[Verse 2]
I remember yellin’ at the ceiling
“If You real, why this pain? Why my people gotta bleed?”
Turned my back when I didn’t get answers
But the truth is I ain’t wanna change my greed
Kept a Bible on the nightstand
Just for looks, never cracked that spine
Til the night I almost took my life
Tears on the floor, said “God, this time…”
You ain’t hit me with the thunder
Just a still small word in my heavy lungs
“I was there when you cursed My name
Same arms ready when you finally come” (come on)
[Chorus]
I went too far, lost in my head
Heart so cold I thought You left me for dead
But You were there in the silence, waitin' on me
When I fell down hard, You were still my peace
I ran and I ran, still You called my name
Covered in shame, You broke them chains
Thought I lost my faith, but You held on
Now I’m findin’ my way back home (back home)
[Bridge]
Yeah, I’m walkin’ but I still slip
Got scars on my heart, got sin I admit
But grace hit different when you know that pit
When you tasted the dark and He pulled you from it
So when I doubt, I remember that night
Floor full of tears, but my soul saw light
If I ever go distant, if I ever lose sight
Your love already paid for my fight
[Chorus]
I went too far, lost in my head
Heart so cold I thought You left me for dead
But You were there in the silence, waitin' on me
When I fell down hard, You were still my peace
I ran and I ran, still You called my name
Covered in shame, You broke them chains
Thought I lost my faith, but You held on
Now I’m walkin’ this road, not alone
Yeah, I’m findin’ my way back home (back home)
