Embracing Sanctuary: Ingrid Michaelson's Musical Refuge
Lyrics
Even in the harshest of winter I feel so warm
Despite the harshness of winter, there is a comforting warmth within.
Even when the marks climb up the wall I still feel small
Even in challenging situations (marked by climbing marks on the wall), there's a sense of feeling small or humble.
This is my home
Emphasizing that the place being referred to is the speaker's home.
This is my home
-Where I go when I've got nowhere else to go
The home is a refuge, a place to go when there's nowhere else to turn or seek solace.
This is my home
-This is my home
-Where I go when I don't know where else to go
-I know everything about this place, it wears your face
The speaker is intimately familiar with this place, and it reflects the essence of people who have been a part of it.
Even when my body blows away, my soul will stay
Even if the speaker's physical body is gone, the soul remains connected to this home.
This is my home
Reiteration of the home as a sanctuary, both when there's nowhere else to go and when the destination is uncertain.
This is my home
-Where I go when I've got nowhere else to go
-This is my home
-This is my home
-Where I go when I don't know where else to go
-Do you feel safe?
A series of questions emphasizing the theme of safety and security within the home.
Do you feel safe?
-Do you feel safe?
-Do you feel safe?
-This is my home

This is my home
-Where I go when I've got nowhere else to go
-This is my home
-This is my home
-Where I go when I don't know where else to go
