Everybody in the world should know your name today.
You can feel your little toes upon the rungs.
People stand aside as you go walking by,
negativity just dies upon their tongues.
Feel the breezes in the leaves above you,
the here and now, and the ones who love you.
Finally, you find home – and it’s a state of mind.
Finally, you find home – it’s been here all this time.
Every step you’ve made has brought you here today.
Every choice that you made, right or wrong.
And you live in light and love and fear today.
Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you strong.
And you wonder why it took so long to
figure out where you went wrong, then you see…
Finally, you find home – and it’s a state of mind.
Finally, you find home – it’s been here all this time.
What you were looking for has finally found you:
The world wants to put its arms around you, finally…
