Back Home

(Solo Piano. Sehr ruhig. Man hört fast das Atmen zwischen den Tönen.)

[Verse 1] (sanft, verletzlich)

I have searched through empty echoes,

Through the noise inside my head.

Built my castles out of questions,

Trying not to break instead.

I kept reaching for the answers,

That slipped right through my hands.

I was standing in the desert,

With maps I couldn't understand.

[Pre-Chorus] (die Akustikgitarre setzt ein)

And every road I thought would save me,

Only led me back to this:

[Chorus] (warm, hoffnungsvoll)

Take me home again,

Back into Your arms.

Back where mercy finds me,

Back where healing starts.

When my faith is barely breathing,

When my strength is almost gone,

Lead this wandering heart

Back where I belong.

Take me home again...

Back to You.

[Verse 2] (etwas mehr Kraft)

I've worn courage like an armor,

But inside I still was scared.

Smiling while my soul was aching,

Wondering if You were there.

Yet even in my silence,

Even through my doubt,

You were writing love in places

I was trying to walk out.

When I thought that I had lost You,

I found out You never moved.

[Chorus] (Drums kommen dazu)

Take me home again,

Back into Your arms.

Back where mercy finds me,

Back where healing starts.

When my faith is barely breathing,

When my strength is almost gone,

Lead this wandering heart

Back where I belong.

Take me home again...

Back to You.

[Bridge] (Band baut sich auf – emotional, Chor antwortet)

(Lead)

You never stopped calling my name.

(Choir)

You never stopped calling.

(Lead)

You never gave up on my soul.

(Choir)

You never gave up.

(Lead – kraftvoll)

I ran through the shadows,

I carried my shame,

But Your love kept reaching,

Again and again.

(Choir – groß und erhebend)

Again and again...

Again and again...

[Final Chorus] (volle Band, Chor)

Take me home again,

Back into Your arms.

Back where mercy finds me,

Back where healing starts.

When the world keeps spinning faster,

And I lose my footing here,

Be the voice that whispers,

"I've been with you all these years."

Take this weary heart,

Wash away the fear.

Lead me through the dark,

Until Your light is clear.

Take me home again...

Back to You.

(Nur Piano und Chor, langsam ausklingend.)

Home again...

Home again...

I was never too far gone,

To come home again.
