“Home”

HOME

Come riding on a rushing wind
Blow through our hair and touch our skin
I want to feel you now like I felt you then

Strip away my calloused heart
Set your arrow hit your mark
Bring me back to where love starts
Bring me back to where you are

Father I am running Father I’m coming home
cuz I cannot go on
Your child is running, your child is coming home
Back where I belong

I know you’ve heard this all before
When I’m down and crying on the floor
Saying I want you and nothing more

But I’m breaking in my heart tonight
I’ve tried to stand I’ve tried to fight
But cannot see without your light
No cannot breathe without you

Father I am running Father I’m coming home
cuz I cannot go on
Your child is running, your child is coming home
Back where I belong

When I saw you I was ashamed
You were pure and I was stained
But you ran to me and you called my name
There were tears of joy upon your face

Father I am running Father I’m coming home
cuz I cannot go on
Your child is running, your child is coming home
Back where I belong

Check out the story behind the song below.

  1. Haha I’ll end it!

    They completely shaved his head off. Phil was so devastated and started crying in a corner like an emo kid. But he decided to get a custom-made wig that matched his old hair exactly! He finally went out in public and people were asking him how he had managed to grow his fabulous hair back in such a short time. He told them that it was actually a wig and people were astounded by how realistic it looked. Then Phil had an amazing idea that he would mass produce the wig and sell it to people that wanted totally awesome hair like Phil’s. In a couple years, his hair grew back and he made millions and bought himself a house somehwere where the houses are ridiculously pricey. He then bought all his fans some groovy red sunglasses.

    THE END.

    Wow… Just wow… Thats pretty much my round about realization of you. The way god has so purly spoken his stories through you is amazing, you are truly gifted, and no matter how much your concerned that you may be acting like the son in this story, REMEMBER that god is using you to save many of the lost, and hurting people in the world. Don’t ever second guess yourself on that point, I know its hard, TRUST ME I know how it feels to read the Bible and think oh my goodness, im just like that, or I can’t believe how much that story relates to me, because Phil God has blessed you with this gift this amazing and extremally binding gift. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to put out your songs, your love, your poetry to God… and just have complete faith in yourself and our Lord. But not to get off track…. This sort of a gift if pursued will lead you away from home, but not with bad or selfish intentions. THATS why your not like the son in this story… Your risking everything for us, your pride, your privcey (gack wow i really messed up that word lol) and needless to say your just well a pretty darn close picture of a perfect son, and son of god in my eyes, even though you as well as the rest of us *little people* still make mistakes daily…. I love your new song it dipicts the story of the two sons perfectaly to me :D Have a blessed day!! And don’t get to tired out teaching gods word with your songs, and words of wisdom !!! I believe in you !
    Have a blessed day!! :D

    …(continuing on from Raquel)…as he entered this mysterious door, a sudden burst of cool wind flowed through his hair causing Phil to have a hair-crisis meltdown. But alas! This door lead him to a vast hair salon! With winding staircases and multi-colored flooring and rows upon rows of various hair stylist working stations. Wide-eyed and bewildered, Phil entered this interesting place to find numerous men and women all with their eyes fixed on him…and his hair! Feeling a bit uneasy with these daunting stares, Phil began to head for an escape but instead of successfully fleeing, he found himself held captive at the will of these fanatic hair stylists! With much resistance, poor Phil was restrained to a chair as a nearby stylist said, “Let’s show him what we’re made of!!! This hair is ours for the taking!”…

    and tho he did have so many v-neck shirts…. he was very depressed. half of them were loosely fitted. they were supposed to be 5 sizes smaller…..

  9. [I must include what I wrote :]

    And the strangest of all the people he encountered was a guy that had a t-shirt with the words “V-Necks are for squares.” He was so shocked that someone actually hated V-neck t -shirts, that he went into a panic and ran home. Then by curiousity he started to count the number of v-neck shirts in his closet. and as he was on #349534058 he saw this magical door in his closet…

    What if we all collectively wrote a story about what in the world happened to Phil? Let’s just conveniently forget what Brody told us a few posts back, and try to justify Phil’s absence from the internet.
    We each add something to the story…this can be meaningful, crazy, impossible, or sad.
    I’ll start.

    Once upon a time, there was a guy names Phil. He loved music, but also loved God’s creation. One day he decided to go for a walk in his neighborhood. On this walk, he encountered many strange people. One of them was a man with two noses and one eye. Phil also met a woman who had seventeen children in a line behind her as they walked on the sidewalk.

    ….next….

  11. HEY I just got a WordPress Blog so make sure to read my blogs and comment :)

  12. Raquel says:

    Haha it seems that my answer was pretty good [:
    I was always good at algebra…

  13. Sara says:

    Haha, sorry. I didn’t realize who some of you are. I posted and I was like… “oh wow… they’re totally kidding” and I actually tried to delete my post, but couldn’t ^.^. Atleast I got an answer as to what he’s up to. I did think you guys were pretty funny making fun of him though. My favorite was what Raquel said, lol.

  14. brodyharper says:

    sorry… sara intimidated me….

    okay back to the ridicule.

    C= Phil put a sparkler in his mouth celebrating the 4th of July too early and is undergoing reconstructive surgery to bring him back to his originally sexy self.

  15. shaungroves says:

    Seriously! Brody, why’d you do that?? It was just getting good! No facts. Just fun from now on, Brody. No biscuit for you.

  16. Rachel says:

    It is way more enjoyable to poke fun at him, Brody. Though I’m sad that the “real C” has been revealed. Mystery lost. Ah well.

    C=Phil decided to go for a hike in the moutains one day and lost his way. He’s currently staring at the night sky trying to remember which one the North Star is so he can get back to civilization. So far he’s survived on some stale beef jerky and water.

  17. brodyharper says:

    Before anyone goes and takes us too seriously, Phil knows that we are totally harassing him. I have talked to him several times. He is currently in some mountains in Southern California at a camp… with no internet. He has a video and an entire post typed out in a word document waiting to post. So that is the real “C”.

    but it’s more fun to make fun of him…. don’t you think?

  18. Paige says:

    C= Creation East. Not as witty, but highly plausible.

  19. Sara says:

    Or… maybe he’s really busy with stuff? Probably. Be patient guys :p

  20. C= Phil went guitar happy, played his fingers off, and can type on the computer no longer. He is currently trying to type a blog with his nose… it’s just taking quite a while.

    a neglected blog is an unhappy blog

  21. Ashlee Chavez says:

    We Want Phil! We Want Phil! We Want Phil!

  22. Ashlee Chavez says:

    Ha I like Raquels… thats my vote for C.

  23. Raquel says:

    C= Phil is trying to contemplate why some people DON’T wear V-neck t-shirts, and while he’s doing this he’s counting the the v-necks HE has but there are an endless amount so he’s just stuck in his closet until he finishes.

  24. Betsy says:

    C= Phil is having too much fun laughing at Brody and Shaun, and doesn’t want to interrupt their “motivating” comments… :) (I, for one, am enjoying them greatly. Thanks guys!)
