Where I'm From - Colony House

Where I’m from

Illuminated lanterns glow

They never flicker

When storm winds blow

The scent of cedar

The taste of citrus on my tongue

The sounds of silence

All feel like home

I can see it in the eyes of my son and the eyes of my daughter

Where I’m from

Where I’m from

The lost and broken sing along

In every language

A sacred song

And I can hear it in the voice of a mother and the cries of a child

Where I’m from

Where I’m from

Where I’m from

Here I labor on in the holy war

Find myself on the threshing floor

Praying somebody will stay with me

While I remain in between

Looking for light

In the breaking of day

Somebody stay with me

Where I’m from

I’ve stood outside these gates before

Trying to listen

And hear her voice

I can feel it in the middle of the rain, in the warmth of a fire

I can feel it when my heart starts to break, I was born to desire

Where I’m from

Where I’m from

Where I’m from

Where I’m from
