Home Lyrics (Natalie Grant, Trina Harmon, Bernie Herms)
Not long after I returned from India to experience firsthand what is being done to address the human trafficking issue, my husband and I went to Los Angeles to write with Trina Harmon. The morning we were scheduled to write with her, the top story in The Los Angeles Times was about a sex trafficking ring that was busted in Anaheim, across the street from Disneyland. The article profoundly impacted me, and I found myself telling Trina about my own experience in India. She said, "We need to write a song for those girls," and she just started writing out all these lines-pretty princess, broken crown-a lot of great word pictures, and it eventually became "Home." We all need a place to belong, to know that we are safe; a place where we can discover our dreams and deal with the brokenness in our lives.
You keep watching the rain come down (yeah)
Pretty princess, broken crown (yeah)
And your dreams have all burned out
But don't you know that they brought you
Here somehow, all you need to know is....
Chorus:
You're home, where secrets are told
See a new world unfolding
Where hearts are one, the pain's undone
And your finally belonging, yeah
And you need to know, you need to know
You're home, yeah
You need to know, you need to know
You're home
So take your coat off and stay awhile (yeah)
What made you cry can make you smile again
You can hold your head up high
'Cause don't you know that you
Oh, girl you were born to fly
When you realize.......
You're home, where secrets are told
See a new world unfolding
Where hearts are one, the pain's undone
And your finally belonging, yeah
And you need to know, you need to know
You're home, yeah
You need to know
All you really need to know is you're home
Welcome home
Everything's gonna be alright
'Cause you're home
Feel the sun, your day has come
You're not alone
You're home
