This is love
This is peace
This is the sound of new spring's melody
This is understanding
This is uplifting, lifting life
This is hatred
This is war
This is the sound of a thousand thunder storms
This is confusion
This is heart breaking, breaking life
[Chorus:]
I have climbed mountains
Crossed these canyons of pain
On this journey home
This is joy and this is hope
This is a thread for the torn and broken soul
This is tragic
This is breath-taking, taking life
It's hard to understand it
Here on the other side
But when I listen closely
I can hear the sound of hope
[Chorus:]
I have climbed mountains
Crossed these canyons of pain
On this journey home
Chasing daylight
Holding hope as my pace
On this journey home
On this journey home
To the shadow of the valley's floor
To the darkness my heart fell victim
I kept my head turned to the right
So all this pain might pass me by
And almost missed it
Standing at the grave where death
Would fight to break all hope away
I found direction
[Chorus:]
I've climbed mountains
Crossed these canyons of pain
On this journey home
Moving forward
Letting the pain of our past reveal the way
On this journey home
I'm on this journey home
On this journey home
