[Intro]
The door sighs open, warm air spills out
Footsteps slow, then rush, a heartbeat in the crowd
[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots fades to dust of memories
Faces blur, then clear, like rain on a window pane
I carry maps of miles, but the path leads home to you
Laughter learns my name again, in the glow of familiar light
[Pre-Chorus]
Anticipation threads through the room with quiet grace
Every welcome breath a sigh I’ve saved in grace
[Chorus]
Home is a held breath after a long, wild ride
Hands meet mine, and time rests for a while
Thankful heart, grateful eyes, joy on every face
Here in this place, I find my resting pace
[Verse 2]
Walls remember the whispers, couches keep the songs I grew up with
The kettle hums a hello, a clock tick-tocks like a patient friend
I trace the old doorframe, the scars of summers we shared
And in every corner, the season of us returns again
[Pre-Chorus]
Textures of arrival cling soft to every sleeve
Promises return, like leaves on a forgiving breeze
[Chorus]
Home is a held breath after a long, wild ride
Hands meet mine, and time rests for a while
Thankful heart, grateful eyes, joy on every face
Here in this place, I find my resting pace
[Bridge]
I walk the hallways of memory, with footprints warm and light
Every hello a beacon, guiding me through the night
[Chorus]
Home is a held breath after a long, wild ride
Hands meet mine, and time rests for a while
Thankful heart, grateful eyes, joy on every face
Here in this place, I find my resting pace
[Outro]
Stepping through the doorway, I bow to what remains
The laughter, the warmth, the love that holds my name
