[Intro] I searched for miles just chasing meaning, Through city lights and fields still gleaming. I never looked back, kept moving on, Hoping the next place might feel like home. But chasing sights just wore me out, The noise got loud, the light burned out. I passed the quiet I once knew, Too busy chasing something new. [Verse 1] I thought I had to prove I was strong, Kept chasing heights, but I had it all wrong. The wins felt shallow, the pressure steep, I couldn’t rest, I couldn’t sleep. I fell more times than I could count, Too tired to rise, too worn-out. You didn’t speak, you didn’t scold— You helped me up. You just took hold. [Verse 2] You never told me what was right, You showed it all in quiet light. You taught me lessons, slow and true, Not with words, but things you’d do. I thought I had to rise and roam, To chase success and earn my own— But now I know what you’ve long known: You taught it all, so I'd be grown. [Pre-Chorus] I missed the signs, I missed the sound, of love that lifts, not shouts out loud. But achievement I thought was all mine— Little did I know that I was held up by your steady spine. [Chorus} You pushed me through when I lost fight, You held your ground when I lost sight. I called it growth and ran alone, But every road just led me home. Not wall or roof or porchlight’s glow, You were the place I didn’t know. And now I stand, not on my own... ’Cause you were always home. [Verse 3] Your quiet strength is in my hands, In every choice, in how I stand. The things you taught without a word Are showing up in how I serve. And though I said I’d make my own... Turns out I built it all from home. [Bridge] I used to think I stood alone, But I was walking with your tone. Each quiet strength, each patient choice— I hear it now inside my voice. [Chorus] You pushed me through when I lost fight, You held your ground when I lost sight. I called it growth and ran alone, But every road just led me home. Not wall or roof or porchlight’s glow, You were the place I didn’t know. And now I stand, not on my own... ’Cause you were always home. [Verse 4] You gave me roots I didn’t see, A steady hand that carried me. No need for praise, no need for show— You just kept building as I’d go. And now I walk with what you gave, The quiet strength, the calm, the brave. This path I’m on, I’ve made it known… But every step still feels like home. [Outro] The miles I ran, the things I chased, Were lessons carved in time and space. But through it all, one truth has grown: I never left... I just came home.
