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 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 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 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
