“Place They Call Home” Lyrics
For as long as I remember, been staring at the sky
Looking to the Father, a billion twinkles in His eye
Listen to Him whisper, sweet song through the pines
Been a witness of his wonders since the dawn of time
I was made to be walked on but I’ll stand my ground
To wandering souls that lost their way, know you’re always found
I was made to be walked on so go where you’re gonna get to
I’ll always be around
I’m here for you
I’m rivers, rocks and mountains, got no flesh and bones
I ain’t ashamed to claim the name “Footstool to His throne”
From lonesome plains to thundering rains, a peaceful spirit roams
I’m a mother to His children, the place that they call home
I was made to be walked on but I’ll stand my ground
To wandering souls that lost their way, know you’re always found
I was made to be walked on so go where you’re gonna get to
I’ll always be around
I’m here for you
From falling trees to colonies, your work is never done
Forged from dust and turning rust to towers in the sun
But pride and rage and battles waged on wars never won
You try to break my heart in two but I’m for everyone
I was made to be walked on but I’ll stand my ground
To wandering souls that lost their way, know you’re always found
I was made to be walked on so go where you’re gonna get to
I’ll always be around
I’m here for you
I wasn’t made to be fought on if that’s what you’re gonna do
Til I’m not around
I’m here for you
