paper planes.

every single star at night

is called by name to shine

with the brightest brilliance I’ve ever seen

this is who you are to me

and I am driving down the road

never knowing quite where to go

but your light will lead me home

you are home

you are home

you are home to me

every single year I’ve known

taking baby steps till I’m not yet full grown

you have graciously believed in your love for me

from paper planes to foreign skies

you sustain my wings in flight

with you home stays in sight

cause I don’t want to

walk around the world looking over my shoulder

with every day I know I’m getting older

the streetlights are fading to a smolder

in the background

so for now I wander where the wind blows

but leave a lantern burning in the window

I’ll return at the first sight of snow

but in the meantime

I’ll sleep well at night

knowing He who never sleeps is by my side

cause You’re here with me for life

You are home

You are home

You are home to me
