No Place Like Home
[Intro]
From the outside
The narrow road
Never looks impressive
or particularly appealing
[Verse]
Some people inherit kingdoms
Some die before they are born
Others earn their freedom
the hard way
by walking through the storm.
[Chorus]
Persistence.
permits water
to cut through stone
Intelligence extracts wisdom
From deep inside the bone.
Narrow is the way back to life
Like Dorothy said.
"There's no place like home"
"There's no place like home"
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Perfected in weakness
Light discovered in the dark
Some fires only ignite
after everything falls apart
What looked like limitation
Is a narrowing of the way
pressure is not punishment...
Is how diamonds are made.
[Chorus]
Persistence.
permits water
to cut through stone
Intelligence extracts wisdom
From deep inside the bone.
Narrow is the way back to life
Like Dorothy said.
"There's no place like home"
"There's no place like home"
[Interlude]
[Verse]
When every path is blocked
Time and distance melt away
Light narrows like a funnel
A single point of light emerges
Passing through a convex lens
Like a train out of a tunnel.
[Chorus]
Persistence.
permits water
to cut through stone
Intelligence extracts wisdom
From deep inside the bone.
Narrow is the way back to life
Like Dorothy said.
"There's no place like home"
"There's no place like home"
[Verse]
Power perfected in weakness
Light discovered in the dark
Some fires only ignite
after everything falls apart
What looked like limitation
Is a narrowing of the grade
pressure is not punishment
Is how a diamond is made.
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Persistence.
permits water
to cut through stone
Intelligence extracts wisdom
From deep inside the bone.
Narrow is the way back to life
Like Dorothy said.
"There's no place like home"
"There's no place like home"
