Finding Love in Familiar Echoes: Heather Headley's Home
Lyrics
When I think of home I think of a place where there’s love overflowing
Reflecting on home as a place filled with abundant love.
I wish I were home, I wish I was back here with the things I’ve been knowing.
Expressing a desire to return home, to the familiar and known.
And that makes the tall grass bend into leaning,
Imagining that the presence of love causes even the grass to lean.
Suddenly the raindrops that fall have meaning.
Seeing meaning in raindrops, suggesting a positive transformation.
Sprinkling the scene, makes it all clear.
Rain sprinkling the scene, bringing clarity to the surroundings.
Maybe there’s a chance for me to go back,
Contemplating the possibility of returning home with newfound direction.
Now that I, I have some direction.
Feeling a sense of purpose or guidance in life.
It sure would be nice for me to go back home
Expressing a longing to go back to a place with love and affection.
Where there’s love and affection.
Emphasizing the importance of love and affection in the concept of home.
And maybe I can convince time to slow up
Hoping to influence time to allow for personal growth.
Giving me the time I need in my life to grow up.
Seeking time to mature and develop in life.
Time, be my friend, help me start again.
Requesting time to be a friend and provide an opportunity for a fresh start.
Suddenly the world’s gonna change its face
Anticipating a positive change in the world despite uncertainties.
But still I, I’ll know where I’m going.
Remaining confident about the destination despite challenges.
And I have had my mind spread around in space
Having experienced a broad perspective but witnessing personal growth.
And yet I, I’ve watched it growing.
Observing personal development and change over time.
And I whisper, God, please, don’t make it hard
Asking for divine guidance and ease in understanding beliefs.
To know the things we should believe.
Pondering whether it's better to confront or avoid challenges.
Tell me, should we try instead, should we run away
Questioning the approach to handling difficult situations.
Or is it better just to let things meet.
Considering the option of letting things unfold naturally.
Living here, in this brand new world might be a fantasy
Acknowledging the possibility of the current reality being a fantasy.
But it’s thought me a lot, so it’s real, it’s real, it’s real to me.
Affirming the value of lessons learned in the new world, despite challenges.
We must look inside our hearts to find
Encouraging introspection to find a world full of love within oneself.
A world full of love, like yours, like mine.
Describing an ideal world filled with love, both universal and personal.
I’m home.
Feeling a sense of belonging and being at home.
