Verse 1 (intimate, reflective)
I walked in as songs filled the air
But my voice just wasn't there
So I took a seat and sank
Then breathed a simple prayer.
Verse 2 (wonder begins) Songbirds suddenly filled the air A warm breeze that shouldn't be there I opened up my eyes and found A door I'd never seen before
Verse 3 (quiet awe) Blinding light… Yet no pain. Simple walls… Filled with light. No shadows… Could be found.
I'd never been here before…
Yet somehow…
I belonged.
Verse 4 (gentle discovery) Gently moving… From room to room. Curtains… Dancing in the breeze. A couch… My mother's dream. A chair… My father would've loved.
Verse 5 (warm reunion) The kitchen… Was alive. Breakfast… Filled the air. I turned… My father smiled. And then… My mother gasped.
Verse 6 (growing anticipation) Tiny footsteps… Echoed overhead…
Chasing… One after the other.
I looked toward the stairs…
Holding my breath.
Verse 7 (speechless realization) One little boy… Then a little girl.
They took their places
By my dad.
They looked at me…
And I knew.
Dad… Still smiling.
"I've got this."
(Silence… piano alone.)
Chorus (gentle release) Overwhelmed I asked God, "Why me?" He answered me so tenderly,
"Child…
You asked.
And I wanted to.
I opened My door
For a moment or two…
To carry you until…
You finally come home."
Bridge (quiet gratitude) Together with trembling hands…
We prayed…
We cried…
We whispered…
To the little child we'd never held…
Her name.
Final Chorus (assured hope) Overwhelmed I asked God, "Why me?" He answered me so tenderly,
"Child…
You asked.
And I wanted to.
I opened My door
For a moment or two…
To carry you until…
You finally come home."
Outro (peaceful assurance) I'd never been there before…
Yet somehow…
I was home.
