please just take one step closer

for it is me who hasn't let You keep me warm

once marked my heart, each letter with pride

once marked my heart, the name of the storm

break my heart again and i'll hold You close

i'll break in parts again so You can hold me close



every word is an understatement

and every exaggeration is true

for this is walking home



so this is just the beginning all over again

so this is just what keeps me alive

so it says You died and we still hated You

so it says You died to keep us alive



break out hearts again and we'll hold You close

i'll break in parts again so You can hold me close



every word is an understatement

and every exaggeration is true

for this is walking home

i'll try this time to remember

every exaggeration is true



can a revolution be at hand

just be walking home?

this is walking home now

love can crush the hardest stone

and God i am one

this is walking home now

i'll always remember

you gave a little be of home (called peace)

to hold close to heart, this is longing home now

and yes, i'm still longing to get there, still longing



(still they ask me)

how can a man love someone so much?

he hasn't yet seen

how a move loves a place so much

he hasn't yet seen
