Home in Myself

(Reflective, grateful, steady. Emphasize “home in myself,” “free,” “quietly me.” Tempo slow. Barefoot, gospel-blues, intimate, confessional. Soft and steady; slight swell in final chorus, end gently.)

Verse 1

I walked the fire, I rode the storm

I held my heart in every form

The nights were long, the roads unsure

But here I stand, my soul secure

Verse 2

I’ve lost, I’ve loved, I’ve found my way

I’ve carried grief, I’ve carried grace

Every scar has shaped my skin

Every ending lets me begin

Chorus

I am home in myself

No need to chase, no need to dwell

I am here, I am free

I am all I’m meant to be

I am home in myself

Verse 3

The world is loud, the winds may bend

But I am steady, I don’t pretend

I’ve learned to rest, I’ve learned to see

The love I need lives inside me

Pre-Chorus

All the journeys, all the nights

All the shadows, all the lights

Led me here, led me true

I am the one I always knew

Chorus

I am home in myself

No need to chase, no need to dwell

I am here, I am free

I am all I’m meant to be

I am home in myself

Bridge

Hands open, heart alive

Every loss helped me survive

I am held, I am whole

I am steady, I am soul

Final Chorus

I am home in myself

No need to chase, no need to dwell

I am here, I am free

I am all I’m meant to be

I am home in myself

And I am finally, quietly me
