Lead me home
Lead me home
My soul is exhausted, my heart is battered
I feel I’ve lost it and my inside is shattered
I look in the mirror and I see a boy staring back at me
Scared and alone, he turns his back on me
He hates me because I lost him along the way
He sat there waiting knowing I would return one day
Show me the way to grace
Help me detach myself from this earthly place
I barely know myself, can’t recognize my face
I am in a craze in this present disgrace.
I close my eyes and I see you there
I open them to an emptiness I can’t bare
I dream you as we should be, with me
But reality forced me to let you be free
I am so attached to this earthly love
That I neglect my calling from up above
He told me that it’s not up to me
Leave love, things are as they should be
It doesn’t matter if now you don’t see,
But in time you will come to agree.
A wounded soldier in a winless war
I question what I was fighting for
How did we let things get this far
How did this scratch become a scar?
I release myself, that is my last choice
You no longer yearn to hear my voice
You were a dove, I was the cage,
You fed me love, I poured you rage
Lead me home to your grace
Lead me home to your safety
Lead me home, away from this place
Lead me home, save me
