Home to My Song

At heart every soul

Holds the essence of truth

The spirit of love

And freedom to choose

What is it then that binds me fast

In blind lies – the last

Of which is that I have no song

To sing, no joy in the long

Long night that leads me home

To my song

At heart every soul

Holds the essence of truth

The spirit of love

And freedom to choose

Can’t get me right making you wrong

Can’t build me up tearing you down

Can’t pretend you have caused all my tears

When the truth is I choose what I feel

In the true light that brings me home

To my song

At heart every soul

Holds the essence of truth

The spirit to love

And freedom to choose

It’s my song to sing, mine the only voice

To hum its tune and make the choice

To sing out my truth, my story, my joy,

My heart and my fears alloyed

In the fragrant night that leads me home

To my song
