"Home" by Rufus Joseph

Powerful. Yearning. Authentic.
"Home" by Rufus Joseph.

Let′s go home
We can't hide here anymore
All alone
Watching skies become small

Let′s go home
We have fought for so long
We have proof that we're strong
Let's go home
Let′s go home

And I just wanna come back, run flat
Hear my mother cry about my growth

I just wanna unpack, fall flat
On my old bed and lie with my ghost

Walk into the garden, hardened
Let the rain seep straight into my bones

Find my old friend, make amends
Say goodbye, with a hand to his headstone

Let′s go home, Let's go home
Let′s go home, Let's go home
Let′s go home, let's go home

I just want the time to slow in a life that I have earned

See the place my lines were drawn, embrace the roots and burns

I will stand in place and shine until the monsters learn

The scars have faded, the dark′s now shade and they cannot return

Let's go home, let's go home
Let′s go home, let′s go home
Let's go home, let′s go home
Let's go home, let′s go home
Let's go home, let′s go home
Let's go home, let's go home

I have felt this, this yearning, need, to return and go back to a place or time called home, so powerful it manifested in my body, made me sick...I am with him, every word.
