Father​-​Daughter Dance

lyrics

Daddy, I'm scared of the word 'home'
The word's always let me down
I'm standing right here in familiar
But still feel lost, like a beggar in town

He said, “Daughter there is no danger
Greater than the one you paint with your fears
So darling let truth be your anchor
And watch all your doubts disappear

Oh daughter, my heart’s your home
Oh daughter, in me you're not alone.”

And right there I let go my anger
And tossed it out into the seas
And right there I let go my offense
'Til my heart was light as kite paper in breeze
And right there I felt no danger
Cuz fear finally ran away
With his tail between his legs
And his head bowed down in shame

Oh father, my heart’s at home
Father, in You I'm not alone

I'm never alone
You are a sturdy old cabin that I can hide in, under a blanket
While sipping hot chocolate by a fireplace
So safe and warm, I'm safe and warm in my father’s home
I’m safe and warm

Oh father, my heart’s at home
Father, in You I'm not alone

Her music is a call to experience life poetically, to revel in beauty and to chase the 'more' of life.
