I watched my guilt blossom before me
Like a tender shoot
With thirsty roots
O’ how my garden grows
The shameful seeds I’ve sown
I watched its stems sprawl above me
Its dark shadow cast its cloud around me
Curtained, kept, and covered in
Your solemn vow,
“Ever you go, I’ll follow.”
Grow your roots within me
Drink of me you thirsty seed
I cower, cringe, and tremble at
Your solemn vow,
“Ever you go, I’ll follow.”
There’s no place like home
I can learn to live with this
If I can learn to live in it
Heavied we’re so heavy
If she only knew just how sorry I was
Sticks and stones won’t break my bones
It’s the branches and boulders I shoulder
Stick and stones won’t break my bones
I can live with it
If I can learn to live with this
If I can learn to live
I watched my guilt blossom before me Like a tender shoot With thirsty roots O’ how my garden grows The shameful seeds I’ve sown
I watched its stems sprawl above me Its dark shadow cast its cloud around me Curtained, kept, and covered in Your solemn vow, “Ever you go, I’ll follow.”
Grow your roots within me Drink of me you thirsty seed I cower, cringe, and tremble at Your solemn vow, “Ever you go, I’ll follow.”
There’s no place like home
I can learn to live with this If I can learn to live in it
Heavied we’re so heavy
If she only knew just how sorry I was
Sticks and stones won’t break my bones It’s the branches and boulders I shoulder Stick and stones won’t break my bones I can live with it If I can learn to live with this If I can learn to live
