Home

I have been moved in for almost a month now. What a blur! I love my new home with my roommates Koni and Mallory. It is different. It is hard to explain. I moved away from home two years ago to go to college at SBU. I never felt "at home" there, so I transferred to MSU last year. Now, Springfield feels like my new home.More specifically, my new home is a little brick house on Fremont called "Shebrews" or "Sister Sister" or "Miss Suzy's Porch Swing Emporium and Casino" depending on who you ask. 

Last Thursday, I was driving to work at the Ethic at 6:20 in the morning, and a song came on the radio that bought me close to tears. "Home" by Switchfoot came on, and I had heard this song a million times before, but hearing it while I drove through an empty, quiet, beautiful downtown comforted me to a new level. The song resonated with me on a new level because I could sing it and fully mean it. I wanted to share this song with you all, and I hope you each find your home as well.

"HOME"

by Switchfoot

I've got my memories

Always inside of me

But I can't go back

Back to how it was

I believe you now

I've come too far

No I can't go back

Back to how it was

Created for a place

I've never known

This is home

Now I'm finally

Where I belong

Yeah, this is home

I've been searching

For a place of my own

Now I've found it

Maybe this is home

Yeah, this is home

Belief over misery

I've seen the enemy

And I won't go back

Back to how it was

And I got my heart

Set on what happens next

I got my eyes wide

It's not over yet

We are miracles

And we're not alone

This is home

Now I'm finally

Where I belong

Yeah, this is home

I've been searching

For a place of my own

Now I've found it

Maybe this is home

Yeah, this is home

And now after all

My searching

After all my questions

I'm gonna call it home

I got a brand new mindset

I can finally see

The sunset

I'm gonna call it home

Now I know

Yeah, this is home

I've come too far

And I won't go back

Yeah, this is home
