This Is Home lyrics

this's so good, i think that it's the best music of Switchfoot

this is my all time FAVOURite song! i never thought i'd say it but its true! i'm the kinda person who loves almost every type of music out there (ther are some which really peeve me off!) and can neva choose between them when asked his/her favourite. But i have found that song. most people dont know this song but for those of us who do know we are lucky. it is the kind that touches hearts and really means something! i always thought my favourite song would be by Girls Aloud but it turns out it's by i band i'd neva even heard of until a year ago!
This song is about the past and what is yet to come! something has happened in the past that just cant be gone back too. personallly this song conjures up my life and brings it all together as the only place ican ever call home is in my head. sounds weird huh? thats exactly what i mean.

why can't i copy THIS?.. i need to copy this beautiful song!

i agree with michelle2 but ya gotta admit it really relates with the movie prince caspian! it is lyk my all time favourite movie/book! its so beautiful! to me this song just gives it that extra special something! it is something you cant put your finger on but you can just feel it ya know? the whole movie almost makes other worlds like narnia believable! anytime i look up at the sky when i'm feelin down or just plain dreamy i get this song in my head! i just love soo moch!

While this song lines up beautifully with the symoblism of C.S. lewis's Prince Caspian, I believe Switchfoot wrote it with a deeper meaning in mind. The first verse talks about how over time he's lost that childlike innocence, "he's seen too much" and "can't go back." It says that he was "created for a place he's never known" illuding to heaven. God created us with the intention of being with us, when we sinned we messed that up. We have yet to experience living with God. The chorus then goes on to say that he has finally found where it is that he belongs, with God. He has searched and has found that his home is with Jesus, and in the safety of Jesus' arms is where he belongs. In the second verse he talks about how he has seen the enemy. We've all experienced the attacks of satan at one time or another. We have all fallen to temptations, or been enslaved to sin. We have all come face to face with our enemy before. The trick is to choose faith in Christ over the misery that the enemy throughs at us! Keep your eyes fixed on what is to come "next" which is life with Jesus in heaven, but at the same time keep alert because we are still here on earth and we can still fall prey to satan. Nonetheless, we are to be encouraged because God is with us and we are not alone! Jesus loves you, and regardless of all you've been through, all you've seen, or done, or been enslaved to, He wants you to continue to seek Him! He wants you to make is home! When I listen to this song it brings tears to my eyes.
