Untitled

I carved a path of ignorance,
I walked the darkest alleys
I knew what I was looking for
as I scoured the deepest valleys
And time again, my expectations
eroded beneath my feet
every heart that had a door
lay dormant on the street

The mountains rose into the sky,
the path became too steep
The oceans may as well go dry
if hope could only sleep
And after all my searching
I knew that it was you
The one I had been looking for
after all I had been through

Because I thought I was doomed to be a wanderer,
finding home,
but never in a heart
a restless vagabond, a roving roamer
but now I know
my home is where you are

The sky had never been painted
on a canvas like your eyes,
and all the treasures hidden there
would shame the dulcet skies.
The water never seemed lukewarm
until you held my hand
my heartbeat echoes the jovial waves
as they crash up against the sand.

The mountain view, it's stunning
but its shadowed by your kiss
Because nothing takes me higher
than a feeling such as this.
Each valley dipped in evergreen,
could never hope compete
for your arms create a canopy
that sweeps me off my feet.

I thought I was doomed to be a wanderer,
finding home,
but never in a heart
a restless vagabond, a roving roamer
but now I know
my home is where you are.

Every terrain that I could tread,
every jagged hill God drew
I know that if I follow
that they'll always lead to you.
