lyrics

There’s a bird in these mountains calling to its mate.
As it soars overhead, I hear it cry:
Am I too late? Am I too late?
Am I too late? Am I too late?

There’s a tree in these rocky hills, growing where no tree should be.
I see it and I think of you. I smile and I sing:
You’re not too late. You’re not too late.
You’re not too late. You’re not too late.

Oh, the wind will blow us on, but if our roots here are strong
We will return to the place we call home.
We will return. We will come home.


There’s a tree fallen ‘cross the trail. It’s slippery with moss,
and bigger than I know how to climb. My mind is at a loss.
Do I go on? Do I go on?
Do I go on? Do I go on?

There’s a creek in this valley that flows all year long
From glaciers big enough to feed it. They seem to say:
Keep going on. Keep going on.
Keep going on. Keep going on.

Oh, with every twist and turn, the road will bring us to the great unknown,
but we will never forget our dearest home.
We will remember. We will come home.


There’s a place where the road ends. Then the trail ends, too.
Nothing left but snowy peaks to climb until I’m through.
Will I find you? Will I find you?
Will I find you? Will I find you?

Like a fire burning somewhere, warm and bright.
I think of you as I tread through the long days and nights.
I will find you. I will find you.
I will find you. I will find you.

Oh, we say we’re headed somewhere, but we’ve truly always been there.
We are the place that we call home.
We are home. We are home.
We are home. We are home.
We are home. We are home.
