Not My Home

I've moved around enough to know

There's no such thing as home

You go back where you used to live

And find that life moved on

That neighborhood still looks same

That old house seems so small

Same old streets but memories

Are all you're standing on

My eyes have never seen it

But I know that it exists

Something in my soul says

There's a better place than this

I'm a stranger in my own skin

'Cause there's Eden in my bones

If home is where the heart is

Then this world is not my home

Chasing ancient whispers

That won't let me settle down

Wandering through the wilderness

So far from my hometown

It's just across the Jordan

Not so distant promised land

How can I be so homesick

For a place I've never been?

My eyes have never seen it

But I know that it exists

Something in my soul says

There's a better place than this

I'm a stranger in my own skin

'Cause there's Eden in my bones

If home is where the heart is

Then this world is not my—

There's a front porch

With a Father waiting

There's a family

Gathered 'round the table

No more goodbyes

No letting go

That's how I'll know

I'm finally home

My eyes have never seen it

But I know that it exists

Something in my soul says

There's a better place than this

I'm a stranger in my own skin

'Cause there's Eden in my bones

If home is where the heart is

Then this world is not my home
