I thought that I would lay awhile
down upon the stone.
I didn’t think I’d every smile,
just sit and weep alone.
But I didn’t know what it meant to feel at home,
Lord I didn’t know I was home.
I walked down by the sea at night,
thinking I’d like to drown.
Everything’s a losing fight
and I’m always sinking down.
But then a light inside me made me up and turn around.
Lord, I didn’t know I was home.
The doctor told me, “Take this pill,”
but I’d rather sing.
The preacher said, “You’re gonna die,”
but Christ won’t say a thing.
There ain’t words to show my heart how to grow wings.
I didn’t know I was home.
So if you’re ever lost and cold
and scared and all alone:
brother, let me show you home.
