Lyrics:
No Place to Rest Verse 1 I’ve walked a long road with no place to rest, no doorway calling my name. I’ve carried this hunger inside my chest, a quiet, unfillable ache. I’ve held a hurt that never lets go, but still I keep moving on. I’m wandering here, half in the dark, with no one waiting at dawn. Verse 2 I’ve tried to build something out of the dust, but it slips right through my hands. I’ve prayed for a family, prayed for a home, but I don’t know where I stand. Some nights I whisper into the air, asking if anyone hears. Some nights I fear I was born to roam, a stranger year after year. Verse 3 I’ve carried this emptiness like a stone, heavy but close to my heart. I’ve learned how to smile so no one knows how often I fall apart. But still I’m searching the far off hills, listening for some kind of sign. Maybe the home I’ve been aching for is something I’ll someday find. Verse 4 I’ve stood in the crowd like a passing ghost, no voice calling out my name. I’ve watched as the world kept moving on, and I stayed right where I came. Some days I wonder if anyone sees the quiet I’m drowning in. Some days I pray there’s a place for me, a door that will let me in. Pre Chorus And I don’t know if heaven is real, but I hope there’s a river of peace somewhere. Chorus I’m longing for a place to call home, a people who know my name. I’m reaching for a fire in the night that warms me just the same. If not in this life, then let it be in a world I cannot see. I’m longing for a place to call home, and a family waiting for me. Outro If there’s a light beyond this life, Lord, let it shine on me.
