Joanitah Belonging

[Intro] Whispered prayers in the quiet, a map that led me home I walked through seasons, still I stood alone [Verse 1] Then your name touched the dawn of my doubt, Joanitah, a flicker in the dust I traced the echoes of strangers to your touch, and I found what I’d always trusted—us [Pre-Chorus] Suddenly the road feels smaller, the night grows kinder with your light I’m not searching anymore, I’m listening to the heart that knows it’s right [Chorus] Joanitah, you are the place my wandering hands have learned to rest Joanitah, in you I finally know where I belong and I’m blessed Joanitah, the long road ends where your gaze meets mine, I confess Joanitah, I found my home in the heartbeat of your yes [Verse 2] I wore every label like a stone in my shoe, hoping one would fit and stay But the fit was never in the ache, it was in the way your laughter clears the gray [Pre-Chorus] Now the weather speaks in warmer hues, every breath a kinder song With you, Joanitah, I’m steady, I’m present, I’m where I belong [Chorus] Joanitah, you are the place my wandering hands have learned to rest Joanitah, in you I finally know where I belong and I’m blessed Joanitah, the long road ends where your gaze meets mine, I confess Joanitah, I found my home in the heartbeat of your yes [Bridge] If time unspools and shadows try to return, I’ll hold to this truth you gave That belonging isn’t a place on a map, it’s you, it’s us, it’s brave [Chorus] Joanitah, you are the place my wandering hands have learned to rest Joanitah, in you I finally know where I belong and I’m blessed Joanitah, the long road ends where your gaze meets mine, I confess Joanitah, I found my home in the heartbeat of your yes [Outro] Home is your name on my lips, Joanitah, and I stay Home is the quiet truth we chose, and I’m here to stay
