Another Home - Mary Chapin Carpenter

There’s another home somewhere

There’s another glimpse of sky

There’s another place unlearned

And a face not memorized

There’s another quilt of green

Where the trees throw down their shade

There’s another way to lean

Into the wind unafraid

There’s another life out there

Beyond your quiet room

Use dead reckoning

The sky, the stars and the moon

There’s another storm to chase

There’s another bridge to burn

There’s nothing perfect here

Another lesson to learn

There were days I gave into losing

Empty spaces of my own choosing

There were nights I forgot to hold on

So I let go, I had to let go

There’s another home somewhere

That I close my eyes to see

I will find you there

You will know it’s me

By my shield and sword

By my soldier’s heart

We made it through the war

We made another start

Just beyond the trees

Not so far I swear

There’s another turn that leads

Towards another home somewhere
