lyrics

I'm feeling lost at heart
The millions of miles in between the stars
All keep me separated from a favorable position
As I navigate through space with love and intuition
Although my light is flickering, I'm still delivering my charge
Coming from a world both cold and dark
All I've ever had to say is that shouldn't have to be this way
The seed was once pure at it's start
From the mind and heart I take steps
To uncover a future that I vaguely recollect
A collection of memories and signals sent
Not for nothing, I'm coming, but I'm not home yet

I'm on my way home
Yes, I'm a coming home
Yes, I'm a going home
I'm on my way home
Yes, I'm coming home
I'm on my way home
Yes, I'm coming home
I'm on my way

I was lying face down and out
A storm brewing in a cloud of doubt
Then I figured out, the seed that sprouts
Despite the drought will earn a piece of Earth
When the rain falls down
Thunderous sounds of resistance have been found
To serve little to no purpose to those with no peace within
Their mental prison, visible beneath the surface, myself included
Have benefited from being uprooted from this toxic soil
Where you take time to make demands, but never take time to give
And if you don't take the time to know your fellow man
Well then, my friend, you haven't take the time to live

I'm on my way home
Yes, I'm a coming home
Yes, I'm a going home
I'm on my way home
Yes, I'm coming home
I'm on my way home
Yes, I'm coming home
