Coming Home

I teach/chair a Christian 12 Step group and use music to reach people. Coming Home was a perfect fit.

Coming Home

As I peel away All the years of pain I discovered what's been all along You were so right I was so wrong

Admitting that there is a problem. That God is right and you are wrong. Only He can restore you.

Every shooting star They all fall so hard They all fade like a played out song Now is the time Before all is lost I'm coming home I'm coming home So I'm coming home Lost on a road I don't belong I'll rest my song I'm so alone Far from the streets I call my own

I'm coming home

I imagine the Prodigal on the walk home. He has given up, put down his wandering song, but still must travel that humbling journey home.

Rushing back to me As the city sleeps So afraid of what I will find Memories they haunt From deep inside

All the things that drag us under, that hinder our progress home; fear. In the dark hours, all alone the accuser tries to crush us. What if those that we return to do not accept us back?

Every broken man Comes to understand that he'll never find paradise When all that he wants Was there all the time

I'm coming home I'm coming home

So I'm coming home Lost on a road I don't belong I'll rest my song I'm so alone Far from the streets I call my own

So I'm coming home Back to a world left long ago And now I know I'm coming home I'll find my way back I'm letting go I'm coming home

Triumphant declaration; "Now I know, I'm coming Home, I'll find my way back!"

We come to find What we take for granted Keeps us alive in the end

God is our source, we live breathe, and move in Him and He in us.

So don't let time Leave you empty handed Reach out tonight and make amends

Make amends to the King. NOW! He RUNS to meet you!

So I'm coming home Back to the place where I belong I'll rest my song I'm so alone Far from the streets I call my own

So I'm coming home Back to a world left long ago Now I know I'm coming home I'll find my way back I'm coming home I'm coming home

This one of the best songs I've ever heard. I think the main idea is that: there is no place like home.

i think it's about someone who becomes ready for his death in a night, how he can see the real truth of everything, all the opportunities he has lost in his life and now how he sees the afterlife the place he's really belong, his real home.

i just wish i could say in words how much i love this song. the chorus is so..so..amazing with unbelievable guitar work.

in fact the new album is so amazing that i can't really hope for one specific track to be a single, But this song is the blazing star of the album, the comet. i hope it to be so.

Well it's obviously about "coming home", but I like to interpret it as more of a journey within ourselves to come back to who we really are, rather than a physical place. Cool song either way.

Here's my attempt:

Verse 1: The singer realizes that someone at home has been right all these years about something.

Verse 2: Aspiring stars (musical artists, in particular) eventually fall, and the singer needs to return home before it's too late and he is not welcomed there any more.

Verse 3: The singer is afraid of how things at home may have changed, since he has been gone so long.

Verse 4: The singer realizes that all he truly wanted was his family/home and not being a famous/wealthy/etc. superstar.

The rest of the song is fairly self-explanatory, I think. In general, I think the song says that we shouldn't take our homes/families for granted, because they will be there for us in the future when other things aren't: "We come to find What we take for granted Keeps us alive in the end

So don't let time Leave you empty handed. Reach out tonight and make amends"

I'm guessing its just about wanting to go home. I mean bands do tour alot, and its easy to feel out of place, and think about memories and stuff.

as with all brilliant songs, the lyrics can mean something different to each of us but still touch us equally deeply. "Coming Home" has become one of my all time favourite songs and the lyrics make me miss my old house and neighborhood. the verse- Every broken man Comes to understand That he'll never find paradise When all that he wants Was there all the time is one of the great verses of rock n roll. MYLES YOU ROCK!!
