eternia & rel mccoy - home ft. shad & sheal lyrics

[verse 1: eternia]:

wrote a letter to home
sent it to nowhere
with no return address
riding the trains like i’m homeless
i prayed to god before i wrote this
may she fill me up and pour me out for y’all to digest
say the word
i’m transported to a pain that’s unheard of
a place that’s of concern
maybe i can find a way to share and unlearn
reflect on what occurred
my past is just absurd
listen:
about 15 schools, 5 states
plus 5 cities in the province of the great lakеs
3 countries and relationships?!
c’mon i lost count
of how many dudes i thought would fill thе pain that i felt
between the train tracks, tarmacs and bus shelters i roam
every time i pack up the pain grows
i don’t expect you to know unless you know:
that feeling like you don’t belong, searching for home

[chorus: sheal]:
wrote a letter to my home
i couldn’t stand there on your doorstep in the cold
did you know i had to go?
i had to go

[verse 2: eternia]:

you are beautiful, familiar, calm, my centre
just like my moccasins fit warm in winter
you are safe, a feeling, grace without measure
all the brokenness gathered up and held together
you are true, loyal, do or die forever
anywhere i roam you follow me and make it better
you are life, peace, every good endeavour
when i stop trying and be still you enter

(you are within me… you are within me)

[verse 3: shad]:

rwanda made me
london raised me
van city saved me
toronto paid me
now my home is a lady
i was only a baby
i was going crazy alone
having a name
ain’t the same
as being known
i guess
just having homies
won’t make you
feel at home
nothing lonely
as a throne
you don’t get it
til it’s gone
or you grown
how to really love the land
that you on
and be strong
how to stand on
the stone
not the sands
that get blown
i was shown
how to root
proceed
to grow seeds
that fall
and grow trees
in fall
that grow leaves
we leave
and folks grieve
but it’s easier to breathe now
when what gets cut can’t touch
what is deep down
that’s the forest
i explore in my heart
some of the places
i was nourished
we now furthest apart
and when i’m hurtin
down in the dirt
i start to search in the dark
for how the whole earth can flourish
be encouraged to start
right at home
[chorus: sheal]:

wrote a letter to my home
i couldn’t stand there on your doorstep in the cold
did you know i had to go?
i had to go

couldn’t stand there on your doorstep in the cold (did you know i had to go, i had to)
couldn’t stand there on your doorstep in the cold
we are starved for the unknown
and all the places within us are home
