Colony House Where I'm From
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
I can see it in the eyes of my son and the eyes of my daughter
Where I'm from
[Verse 2]
Where I'm from
The lost and broken sing along
In every language
A sacred song
[Chorus 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
Where I'm from
I've stood outside these gates before
Trying to listen
And hear her voice
[Chorus 3]
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
