Come Home – the song!
Open Heart ~ A Place Called Home
Laurel D. Rund (c) 2010
I listened to a voice from within which beckoned me to
come home, come home ~ open the doors to your heart.
So I closed my eyes, quieted my mind and asked
the twinkling stars to light the way.
My senses came alive ~ were heightened
when its crimson color and radiant glow came into view.
A door with glittering handles opened easily to my touch,
revealing sunlit clouds and a bright blue sky.
As I strolled through this enchanted place,
the most magnificent sounds and sights greeted me.
I knew I had found my Garden of Eden, my Nirvana,
when I heard my heart whisper tenderly to me …
Finally, finally you are here!
Welcome home, welcome home ~ welcome to your heart!
So, if you hear an Emerging Voice inviting you
to take a journey into your heart ~ go there,
open its doors and discover the treasures that lie within.
You will know you have found your way
when you hear these words …
Finally, finally you are here!
Welcome home, welcome home ~ welcome to your heart!
