Artist/Band: Carrie Newcomer
Lyrics for Song: Closer To Home
Lyrics for Album: Bird Or The Wing [1995]



This is a lovely place that is hard to leave

And there is a loneliness that we will always grieve

So give what you can and only take what you need

And hope you heart will know what you eyes can't see

When I was a child I still thought like a child

And I still feel like a child sometimes



But I'm learning the farthe3st I'll travel each day

Is to the edge of my blindness, and then a little more ways

We will meet again I'm sure



Someday when our sorrow s are cured

And we'll walk like friends, embrace again

Much closer to home we'll be then



The world will build walls without any doors

And it is easy to forget what we are climbing them for

But I saw an angel with hope on it's face saying

"There's good work to do, and there is no time to waste"



We are closer to home, we are closer to home

We are closer to home that we know

I felt your should in your fingertips

And I have held your hand and brushed them to my lips

And I saw the child that I birthed in my pain

And when she opened her eyes there were your eyes again
