Carrie Newcomer - Closer To Home lyrics

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" Chorus 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 Chorus
