Journey of Longing: Murphy Givens' Melodic Reflection on Homecoming
Lyrics
Through my soul like chimes
Feeling resonates through my soul like the sound of chimes
The south wind blows
The gentle south wind is blowing
And the aching in my heart
There is a longing or pain in my heart
Seems to waver and depart
This ache appears to waver and lessen
I can still see all your mountains
I can vividly remember your mountains
I can still smell all your pines
I can still recall the fragrance of your pine trees
Oh the home I left in Georgia left behind
Expressing a sense of leaving a home in Georgia behind
Oh the home I left in Georgia left behind
Reiterating the theme of leaving a home in Georgia
Home I'm home
Affirmation of being home
Home I'm home
Repetition of the affirmation of being home
Oh little church on top of a hill
A mention of a small church situated on a hill
Would you heal my wounds even when I'm ill
Possibly seeking solace or healing from the church even in difficult times
If I climb up to that doorstep
Contemplating approaching the church doorstep
Would you think to let me in
Questioning whether the church would welcome the speaker
Or cast me away and all my sin
Concerns about being rejected due to past sins
I know it's been a while
Acknowledging that it's been a while since the speaker left
But I never did forget
Despite the time, the memories of prayer haven't faded
The way I used to pray religious
Recollection of religious prayers in the pews
In the pews that I left
Expressing nostalgia for the church pews that were left behind
Home I'm home
Reiteration of the speaker being home
Home I'm home
Continued affirmation of being home
Home I'm home
Repeating the sense of being home
Home I'm home
Emphasizing the feeling of being home
Venture into the unknown
Expressing a willingness to venture into the unknown
As long as you are in my arms
Feeling at home as long as a certain person is in the speaker's arms
I'm home home home
Repetition of the concept of being home
