A VERY ROUGH live recording of the first time our band has played this song live. "Home" was written 2 weeks ago and has a lot of heart behind it. Enjoy!

Home

So if you think that staying here will keep you safe, it won't...
So stumble from the creek of what you think you know
To the Sea of what you don't
Sometimes the nest becomes a cage
And what you need is right outside the dome....

You have got a wild, wild heart
Time to let it go

Wild, Wild Heart - Bobby Jo Valentine

Lyrics:
I’m trading deadlines for a softer ceiling 
I’m trading lonely for a truer feeling 
I'm trading easy for a harder healing 
But one that leaves me whole 

I’m trading running for a hand beside me 
Trading my shadows for a light that won't hide me 
Traded my money for a love it won't buy me 
And a little less control 

And we pick up so much when we're living that we should never hold
We carry so much we should never own

But all that I need is what I've been given 
Right inside this skin 
Everything else that doesn't treat me well 
I'm trading in, I'm trading in  

I’m trading safety the world has sold me 
For something wilder and real and holy 
For what the ghost of my father told me 
That you're already home 
Anywhere you go  

And we pick up so much while we're living that we should never own  
We carry so much that we shouldn’t hold

But all that I need I’ve already been given  
Right inside this skin  
Everything else that doesn't treat me well  
I'm trading in, I'm trading in   

I’m trading deadlines for a softer ceiling  
I’m trading lonely for a truer feeling  
I’m trading easy for a harder healing... 
...But one that leaves me whole.

Something You Happen To

I am a haunted house,
And it's a quarter after three
And there are flashes of blue light
As my love of life fights
With the pain in me...

Haunted House

I fought my demons down,
and when they finally fell
Oh what a graceful sound!

Carry Me Away

The night is getting darker as I wander through the trees
I can hear the wind as it rushes through the leaves
I hope it makes sense when I say I really need
That sound...

A Hand To Hold

Tony the tiger doesn't live here anymore...

Slow Down, Feel It

I am a haunted house,
and it's a quarter after three,
and there are flashes of blue light
as my love of life fights
with the pain in me...

Ready To Be Found

I think it's time to let my wanderlust rest
Lay my head on a forgiving chest
Close my eyes and listen to its warm, steady sound
I think I'm ready to be found
And I'm not saying its the end
Just think its time I made room for a friend
Some things won't grow unless I put some roots in the ground
I think I'm ready to be found

I know where the Lost Ones go
When they spend too much time out on the open road
They flicker in and out of life like ghosts
You can see through their feet to the ground
I know cause I've been one of them
Lately as last year, no time for friends
I can create a thousand loose ends
And never even bother to count

But I'm ready for that to change now...
I'm ready for that to change

I think it's time to let my wanderlust rest
Lay my head on Life's forgiving chest
Close my eyes and listen to its warm, steady sound
I think I'm ready to be found
And I'm not saying its the end
Just think its time I made room for some friends
Some things in me won't grow without roots in the ground
I think I'm ready to be found

I've spent so much of my life as a seeker
Standing still burns like a fever
My sense of home and my soul's gotten weaker
But I'm ready to turn it around..

I think it's time to let my wanderlust rest for a while  
Lay my head on Life's forgiving chest and smile
Close my eyes and listen to its warm, steady sound  
I think I'm ready to be found  
And I'm not saying its the end  
Just think its time I made room for some friends
Some things in me won't grow without roots in the ground  
So I think I'm ready to be found

Once I was walking alone
After too many nights on the road
I looked down, and what do you know,
I could see through my feet to the ground...
I think I'm ready to be found
