I Am Already Home

[Verse 1]

I feel the shadows gather round me,

An emptiness I cannot name.

I walk alone through quiet silence,

And wonder if I’m to blame.

So I sit down, close my eyes,

Let the stillness pull me near,

And ask myself with tender kindness,

"What’s beneath this lonely fear?"

[Verse 2]

A thought appears, a whisper calling:

"You need a purpose to be whole."

It’s been the ghost behind my searching,

The weight I carried in my soul.

But is it true, this old belief?

I hold it gently, watch it fade.

Without that thought, I feel the sunlight —

A peace I thought had slipped away.

[Chorus]

I don’t need a map to find my way,

I don’t need a goal to feel okay.

I don’t need tomorrow to make me free —

Right here, right now is all I need.

And when I turn the thought around,

The truth is clear, the truth profound:

I am already home.

I am already whole.

[Verse 3]

I search for reasons just to keep it,

But none remain, they fall apart.

Without that lie, my chest grows lighter,

There’s joy already in my heart.

I ask the sky, I pray to heaven:

"Release this chain, this veil of fear."

And in the hush, I feel the answer —

"You were free before, my dear."

[Chorus]

I don’t need a mission to be alive,

I don’t need a reason just to shine.

I don’t need to strive for what’s in me —

The love I seek is what I breathe.

And when I turn the thought around,

The truth is simple, soft, and sound:

I am already home.

I am already whole.

[Bridge]

All the searching, all the striving,

Led me back to where I’ve been.

The path I walked was just reminding

Me the peace lives deep within.

[Final Chorus]

I don’t need a direction to belong,

I don’t need a purpose to sing my song.

I don’t need to earn this sacred peace —

It’s here, it’s now, it’s always been in me.

The thought dissolves, the chains unbind,

And I leave that old belief behind:

I am already home.

I am already whole.

I am free.
