[Verse 1] I don’t need a map they drew before I ever learned to walk I’ve got a compass in my bones that speaks a language deeper than talk Every crossroad tried to scare me into shrinking, into small But the current pulling through me never asked permission at all I’ve unlearned the fear they taught me, I’ve untangled every knot I’m the tide that keeps returning to the shore they said I’m not [Pre-Chorus] Feel it callin’ from the deep down (oh-way-oh-way-iii) Feel it risin’ like a sweet sound (oh-way-oh-way-iii) [Chorus] I’m a compass bone, I’m a home-grown light Never lost when the whole world tells me left is right I’m a compass bone, spinning toward the sun Every road that I’m walkin’ down, I’m already home I’m a compass bone — can’t nobody steer ’Cause the truth in my chest is the only map I need round here [Verse 2] They can chart the stars and name ‘em, put a border on the sea But the wild in me was written way before their history I’m a signal, not an echo, I’m a source, I’m not a sound I stopped looking for the answer when I felt it underground Every storm that tried to break me only sharpened up my core I’m the same soul walkin’ forward that was whole before the war [Pre-Chorus] Feel it callin’ from the deep down (oh-way-oh-way-iii) Feel it risin’ like a sweet sound (oh-way-oh-way-iii) [Chorus] I’m a compass bone, I’m a home-grown light Never lost when the whole world tells me left is right I’m a compass bone, spinning toward the sun Every road that I’m walkin’ down, I’m already home I’m a compass bone — can’t nobody steer ’Cause the truth in my chest is the only map I need round here [Bridge] Undeviating, unhesitating, navigating what is true Illuminating, calibrating, radiating what I do Unshackled, unrattled, uncluttered by the residue Recalibrate, elevate, I’m anchored to a higher view (oh-way-oh-iii-way-oh, ah-way-oh-eee-way) [Final Chorus] I’m a compass bone, I’m a home-grown light Never lost when the whole world tells me left is right I’m a compass bone, spinning toward the sun Every road that I’m walkin’ down, I’m already home (home, home) I’m a compass bone — can’t nobody steer ’Cause the truth in my chest is the only map I need round here [Outro] Compass bone… I already know… oh-way-oh-way-iii… I’m home.
