The Place My Heart Calls Home

[Verse 1]
You left a little paper boat
Beside the garden gate
I wrote a wish upon its sail
And watched it drift away
The morning held its breath awhile
The clouds began to part
And every ordinary thing
Made room inside my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
If I can take one step beyond
The path I know by name
Maybe all the things I dreamed
Are closer than they seem

[Chorus]
There’s a wide world waiting past the hill
A thousand doors to open still
I’ll take your hand, we’ll find our way
And greet the bright beginning of the day
Whatever roads the years may bring
I’ll keep this little hope I carry
And wherever we may go
You’ll be the place my heart calls home

[Verse 2]
The old clock in the kitchen sings
Its slow and steady tune
Your laughter tumbles down the hall
Like sunlight in the room
I used to think that brave meant never
Feeling scared at all
Now I know it’s choosing to begin
Though you might stumble when you fall

[Pre-Chorus]
So when the road is new and strange
And courage feels too small
I’ll remember what you said:
A heart can learn it all

[Chorus]
There’s a wide world waiting past the hill
A thousand doors to open still
I’ll take your hand, we’ll find our way
And greet the bright beginning of the day
Whatever roads the years may bring
I’ll keep this little hope I carry
And wherever we may go
You’ll be the place my heart calls home

[Bridge]
And when the seasons turn the page
And miles stretch out between
The kindness that you gave to me
Will travel everywhere I’ve been

[Final Chorus]
There’s a wide world waiting past the hill
And now I know I have the will
I’ll take that step, come what may
And greet the bright beginning of the day
Whatever roads the years may bring
I’ll keep this little hope I carry
And wherever we may go
You’ll be the place my heart calls home

[Outro]
You’ll be the place
My heart calls home
