Which Way Is Home
Finding the Way: A Journey of Self-Discovery in Johnny Reid's Melody
Lyrics
Hello stranger
Greeting a person who is unfamiliar
Good to se ya
Expressing joy at seeing the stranger
Staring back at me
Reflecting on the person's reflection
It’s been a long time
Acknowledging a significant time gap
I barely recognize
Feeling unfamiliar with one's own identity
Who I used to be
Noticing personal transformation over time
Yeah it’s been a journey of twists and turns
Describing a journey with unexpected twists
I got a little off track
Acknowledging a deviation from the intended path
I had good intentions but bad directions
Having good intentions but facing challenges
All I wanna do is go back
Expressing a desire to return to a previous state
Which way is home
Pondering the direction towards home
I need to know
Expressing a need for direction
I’m like a rolling stone down a rocky road
Metaphorically describing a challenging journey
I’ve been gone gone gone for way too long
Expressing a prolonged absence
I paid the cost of being lost
Acknowledging the consequences of being lost
Which way is home?
Reiterating the question about the direction home
Found myself in the pouring rain and let it wash me clean.
Describing a cleansing experience in the rain
It’s amazing what a man can see when he’s down upon his knees
Noting insights gained in challenging situations
I had a soul searching revelation!
Experiencing a profound self-discovery
Yeah it set my chained heart free
Feeling liberated from emotional constraints
I’m so close yet so far from where I want to be
Expressing proximity and distance to personal goals
Which way is home
Repeating the question about the direction home
I need to know
Reiterating the need for guidance
I’m like a rolling stone
Metaphorically describing a tumultuous journey
Down a rocky road
Repeating the imagery of a rocky road
And I been gone gone gone for way too long
Emphasizing the duration of absence
And I paid cost for being lost
Acknowledging the personal cost of being lost
Which way is home?
Repeating the question about the direction home
Which way is home?
Repeating the question with emphasis
I been up
Summarizing varied life experiences
I been down
Highlighting ups and downs in life
I been spun all around
Expressing disorientation and confusion
I stumbled and fell through heaven and hell
Narrating a journey through extremes
Now it’s time for me to go
Indicating a decision to move forward
Which way is home?
Repeating the question about the direction home
I need to know
Reiterating the need for guidance
I’m like a rolling stone
Metaphorically describing a tumultuous journey
Down a rocky road
Repeating the imagery of a rocky road
And I’ve been gone gone gone gone gone for way too long
Emphasizing the duration of absence
I paid the cost for being lost
Acknowledging the personal cost of being lost
Which way is home?
Repeating the question about the direction home
Which way is home?
Repeating the question with emphasis
Which way his home?
Repeating the question about the direction home
Which way is home?
-Which way is home?
-I need to know
Reiterating the need for guidance
Which way is home?
Concluding with a repeated need for direction
