(Hold That Thought) I'm Coming Home
For the rededication of Kelly Writers House, University of Pennsylvania
Words and music by Regina Christian
It's a long time walking
Trying to find the road
It's a long time speaking
Things I hardly know
When I thknk the words are gone
The river has run dry
Two steps just inside your door
I know it's all right
No matter how far away I might roam
Hold that thought; I'm coming home.
It's a place I'm seeking
Somwhere in my heart
Threads I'm weaving
where the cloth was torn apart
When I think my lips are sealed
by ears that won't hear
Speaking soft inside these walls
The truth becomes clear
No matter how far away I might roam
Hold my thoughts; I'm coming home.
Bread baking, laughter taking me out of time
Words breaking, falling, crashing into my mind
You know the best of me, you know who I am
You've hidden my heart in the palm of your hand
No matter how far away I might roam
Hold that thought--I'm coming home.
