Sanctuary at Home

[Intro] Soft light in the doorway, the kettle hums a tune A quiet recipe for mercy, a late afternoon swoon [Verse 1] Slippers warm on the wooden floor, the house breathes slow A sweater wrapped around the shoulders, in amber glow The chair by the window keeps a secret lullaby I set down the day, let the world drift quietly by [Pre-Chorus] Breathe in the rosemary steam, let the noise dissolve Tiny rituals like postcards that love can absolve [Chorus] This is my sanctuary, where the heart can mend A simple kind of heaven, beginning again Soft hands, warm light, and a patient, patient calm Home, where healing happens, and I breathe my psalm [Verse 2] Tea sails in a mug, steam tracing a gentle map A book opens its arms wide, I lean back A blanket folds around me like a slow, steady tide The clock keeps time with heartbeat, night beside [Pre-Chorus] Notes from the kettle settle into the room Small acts of mercy bloom, quiet as a bloom [Chorus] This is my sanctuary, where the heart can mend A simple kind of heaven, beginning again Soft hands, warm light, and a patient, patient calm Home, where healing happens, and I breathe my psalm [Bridge] If the day wore heavy, I unlace the noise Let the cushions thank me with a tender choice Candles steady the shadows, whispering that I’m enough Here in the hush, I find the stubborn stuff of love [Chorus] This is my sanctuary, where the heart can mend A simple kind of heaven, beginning again Soft hands, warm light, and a patient, patient calm Home, where healing happens, and I breathe my psalm [Outro] Close the door, breathe out the light, night softly sings I am safe, I am slow, I am made of small, bright things
