Open roads and broken hearts I've seen the unseen I don't know where to start I've felt this pain Watched people go insane Felt my roots so deep down in the ground They say We grow apart I know now When love is from your heart It only grows stronger These days grow longer I'm waiting for the sun to set down Step my barefeet on the ground I am I'm Home Again I'm Home Again I'm Home Again Lakes on both sides We've got friends throwin' high fives No walls built too high My capitol is not to divide Walking down State Street Feelin' love in the suns heat Your arms around me baby Bliss is all we need now They say We grow apart I know now When love is from your heart It only grows stronger These days grow longer I'm waiting for the sun to set down Step my barefeet on the ground I am I'm Home Again I'm Home Again I'm Home Again Home Again I'm Home Again They say Smash what they say Ooohhhh Destroy what they say What do you feel? I feel love Warm, sweet love Round round round round Round round round (x4) If love is from your heart You know Thats the only place to start It will never be taken away On your final day you will rise I'm Home Again I'm Home Again I'm Home Again Home Again Awe awe awe oh I'm Home Again Awe yeah yeah Home Again Awe oo ooo I'm Home Again Welcome Home (laugher and clapping)

For so long now I pointed the finger For so long now I Its my own now Its my own Its only by Grace alone That I walk in the light Yay ah ooo Mother Maui Picked me up on the side of the road Directed me where to go Gave me the word and the light Father Maui Shared fresh swordfish and pineapple With his brother too Aloha Grace Its only by Grace alone That I walk in the light Yay ah Yah ah ooo Sister Ana welcomed me into her home Celebration with her family and children oooh Opened up my soul Brother Philip smashed the frameworks of fear Under the great Banyon tree There so many souls set free Its only by Grace alone That I walk in the light I awoke to Hope giggling outside my tent With her mother Through the bamboo forest To the waterfall of grace To where I did repent I tore off my clothes And I climbed close I spread my arms wide As the wind beat me back It was a heavenly dose Beads of water Beat the fear off my face And in that moment I let go And the Spirit took form in the shape of a face floating above How graceful How graceful And I Oooooh oooo (x2) Oooo How Graceful

In your eyes There's no lies The baby cries and This is life's suprise And I had one prayer there When I was down on my knees Now that you've granted it well What will I do With all these days Are so full and so bright I'm so thankful Just to be right here Right now I was standing on top of a mountain In the middle of winter When a blizzard blew through All at once time stood still and I didn't know what to do I couldn't see my hand in front of my face now All of these bullets and beads of ice They flew right past At that moment a corona occurred Where the sun appeared as a full moon All at once time stood still Now I'm sitting' in my garden in June Two humming birds fly by And I realize That all my worries are gone They're gone Yes They're gone Oo oh a oo They're gone In your eyes There's no lies The baby cries and This is life's suprise And I had one prayer there When I was down on my knees Now that you've granted it well What will I do? With all these
