Where the Home Is
Kneeling before the line of distiction
My eyes race at the magnificant colors
That seduce my spirit
Pulling my soul as a magnet
The glamorous spotlight shines on all
Everyone is "The Star" over there
It looks so marvelous I just want to dive right in
My temptation is strong and my heart is weak
I break through the barrier into this new world,
but this is not what I remembered seeing
Where are the colors that ran so bright?
Where is the spotlight I so crave?
The colors fade to gray
With a dimming light falling from the heavens
This lukewarm atmosphere chokes me
I spew at this feeling that overcomes my body
It's so lonely over here in the dark,
people stumble in their own blindness
Yet, the blind lead the blind,
and this is how they survive
I do tremble now, for I am frightened
I'm so alone, with no hope
OH, why did I ever cross that line?
My regrets conquer this quivering spirit.
Running back I stop to glance at this view
That line that did seperate me once
Did look different than before.
Was I seeing straight?
The other side of this line was not colorful,
and it did not glamor with desire
It was unattractive in all honesty,
and I did ponder if it is where I had begun.
Yet I recognized the faces
The smiles that did shine
I missed the joy that was left on the other side
So I shall hesitate no more
It may have been dull by its view,
but inside its radiant and it gives me peace
I should have never crossed that line
Which seperated me
My home is here where my heart is
God keeps it upon it's pedestal
Never shall it go away,
and never shall it be forgotten
