Home

And if again you’re on the run

“Nowhere” is a place you’re from

Some cracks can never be repaired

Just a kite battered in the storm

Dreamers’ wings tattered as they’re torn

Every night, recite this little prayer

There is a place that the nameless call “home”

Where the word “stranger” never rings true

And the doors are always open

I want you to know you’re not alone

I believe in that place, too

Alone

And if your angels turn to phantoms

Your weary soul is held for ransom

Hold on, Love, do not despair

When the winds of winter call

And you can’t help but feel so small

Every night, recite this little prayer

There is a place that the nameless call “home”

Where the word “stranger” never rings true

And the doors are always open

I want you to know you’re not alone

I believe in that place, too

Rose

And if love should leave its mark

Some flowers only bloom in the dark

Tell me, can you see what isn’t there?

Monsters faced with shield and sword

You’re the hero of the story

This is a promise, with you, I share

It’s not a people or a nation

It’s not a place, nor destination

It’s a theme that dreamers carry

A dream for all the world to share

A home for all in need of rest

There is no “them” in U.S.

Wherever you’re from,

You’re one of us

There is a place that the nameless call “home”

Where the word “stranger” never rings true

And the doors are always open

I want you to know you’re not alone

I believe in that place, too

I believe in that place, too

I believe in that place, too
