We used to grow here A sanctuary for our sacraments We used to know here A safety from our pain We used to learn here Insights from the Other Shore We used to yearn here Aching for more We thought we could stay here We thought we knew this place We thought we were safe here We thought that here we could find space We lost the fire here That used to light our day We lost desire here and Sought another way We lost traditions And friends we used to love We lost a comfort That used to be enough We found a new path Unfolding up ahead We found a new place To rest our weary head We found a center From which to radiate We found a new way Our thirst to satiate We looked behind us and Saw where we have come We saw with each step We never left our home We journey on, yes, and Maybe change our stance We never leave, though, our Home -- this endless dance

The Dance
We used to grow here A sanctuary for our sacraments We used to know here A safety from our pain We used to learn here Insights from the Other Shore We used to yearn here Aching for more We thought we could stay here We thought we knew this place We thought we were safe here We thought that here we could find space We lost the fire here That used to light our day We lost desire here and Sought another way We lost traditions And friends we used to love We lost a comfort That used to be enough We found a new path Unfolding up ahead We found a new place To rest our weary head We found a center From which to radiate We found a new way Our thirst to satiate We looked behind us and Saw where we have come We saw with each step We never left our home We journey on, yes, and Maybe change our stance We never leave, though, our Home -- this endless dance
