Come Home to You
Journey through Life's Shadows: Finding Home in the Heart
Lyrics
There's a mad little kid at the top of the stair
Describes a disturbed child at the top of the stairs.
And his eyes - they gather no lie
Emphasizes the honesty in the child's eyes.
Well, his mom and his dad - they're too high to care
Parents are too intoxicated to care for the child.
And his cries drift off in the night
The child's cries are ignored, drifting away at night.
And I've been that kid, yeah, it's true
The singer relates to being that troubled child.
And I've been both of those parents, too
Admits experiencing both roles of neglectful parents.
I'm ashamed when I lost my way
Expresses shame for losing one's way.
But I'd do anything just to come home to you
Despite shortcomings, the singer is willing to do anything to return home.
The twilight captures the sorrow of time
Describes twilight as a representation of sorrow and time.
In between the life and the lived
Highlights the space between existence and lived experiences.
I press on through the darkness so thoroughly blind
The singer navigates through darkness, blind to the truth a new morning may bring.
To a lie a new morning gives
Points to the deceptive nature of a promising morning.
And it sparkles like each new tomorrow
Compares each new day to a sparkling opportunity.
I crank up my last yesterday
Recalls past experiences, both joyful and sorrowful.
Tasted sweet joy and bittersweet sorrow
Mentions the contrasting emotions of sweet joy and bittersweet sorrow.
And I'd do anything just to come home to you
Despite the hardships, the singer is committed to returning home.
There's a meanness inside and it shivers my bones
Describes an internal cruelty that deeply affects the singer.
That's the thing about mercy I guess
Reflects on the concept of mercy and its impact.
There's no man so wicked he cannot come home
Asserts that even the wicked can find a home.
Nor so good he passes each test
Recognizes the imperfection of individuals, neither wholly wicked nor completely good.
As the fire of memories burn me
The singer is haunted by memories, represented as burning fires.
The grace of your love returns me
Acknowledges the redeeming power of love in returning to grace.
To this most traveled of highways
Refers to life as a well-traveled highway with its ups and downs.
Where I'd do anything just to come home to you
Reiterates the willingness to do anything to come home.
I would do anything just to come home to you
The singer expresses a strong desire to return home, emphasizing the depth of commitment.
