[Verse 1]
I've been here so many times
Talking to this voice of mine, yeah
If I showed you what it's like

Lord, can You help me? Can You help me find me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm locked up with these walls inside (these walls inside)
Incarcerated in my mind
Get me out, I've paid the fine
There's nothing there for me to find
[Chorus]
And I just wanna go home
But they don't wanna let me go
They'll never break me down, no
Cuz I will find my way home

My hardship's a preacher, never stops with its whispers

See my Lord is my keeper, see my Lord is my healer
[Chorus] (x2)
And I just wanna go home
But they don't wanna let me go
They'll never break me down, no
Cuz I will find my way home
