With a distinctly ‘80s-esque feel, “Hometown” delivers lyrics with a double meaning. Firstly, they describe the artists’ lives as Christians in a world that doesn’t know or understand what they believe.

Hometown Lyrics
[Refrain]
My shadow tilts its head at me
Spirits in the dark are waiting
I will let the wind go quietly
I will let the wind go quietly
[Verse 1]
Be the one, be the one to take my soul and make it undone
Be the one, be the one to take me home and show me the sun
I know, I know you can bring the fire, I can bring the bones
I know, I know you'll make the fire, my bones will make it grow
[Chorus]
Where we're from, there's no sun, our hometown's in the dark
Where we're from, we're no one, our hometown's in the dark
Our hometown's in the dark
[Refrain]
My shadow tilts its head at me
Spirits in the dark are waiting
I will let the wind go quietly
I will let the wind go quietly
[Verse 2]
Put away, put away all the gods your father served today
Put away, put away your traditions, believe me when I say
We don't know, we don't know how to put back the power in our soul
We don't know, we don't know where to find what once was in our bones
[Chorus]
Where we're from, there's no sun, our hometown's in the dark
Where we're from, we're no one, our hometown's in the dark
Our hometown's in the dark
[Refrain]
My shadow tilts its head at me
Spirits in the dark are waiting
I will let the wind go quietly
I will let the wind go quietly
[Chorus]
Where we're from, there's no sun, our hometown's in the dark
Where we're from, we're no one, our hometown's in the dark
