| Song | Closer To Home |
| Artist | Carrie Newcomer |
| Album | The Bird Or The Wing |
| This is a lovely place that is hard to leave | |
| And there is a loneliness that we will always grieve | |
| So give what you can and only take what you need | |
| And hope you heart will know what you eyes can't see | |
| When I was a child I still thought like a child | |
| And I still feel like a child sometimes | |
| But I'm learning the farthe3st I'll travel each day | |
| Is to the edge of my blindness, and then a little more ways | |
| We will meet again I'm sure | |
| Someday when our sorrow s are cured | |
| And we'll walk like friends, embrace again | |
| Much closer to home we'll be then | |
| The world will build walls without any doors | |
| And it is easy to forget what we are climbing them for | |
| But I saw an angel with hope on it's face saying | |
| “There's good work to do, and there is no time to waste” | |
| Chorus | |
| We are closer to home, we are closer to home | |
| We are closer to home that we know | |
| I felt your should in your fingertips | |
| And I have held your hand and brushed them to my lips | |
| And I saw the child that I birthed in my pain | |
| And when she opened her eyes there were your eyes again | |
| Chorus |
