Far From Home
Coby James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel so far away from home
I don′t know where I'm going
But I know
You′ve got me, Lord
I've been running, running so
Running, running so
This is what I was
What I was
Born to do
All alone in a room full of people
All this time on my mind for no reason
But this is what I was
What I was
Born to do
Yeah
It's you I want
When It′s dark and I′m lost
Every step I take I want you
When I'm far from home
And uncomfortable
And no one really knows me
But you do
I′m far from home
I'm far from home
And no one really knows me
But you do
I need something to remind me
To see the sunset on the horizon
Give me something to hold on to
I′ve been running, running so
Running, running so
Far from you
This is what I was
What I was
Born to do
All alone in a room full of people
All this time on my mind for no reason
But this is what I was
What I was
Born to do
It's you I want
When It′s dark and I'm lost
Every step I take I want you
When I'm far from home
And uncomfortable
And no one really knows me
But you do
I′m far from home
I′m far from home
And no one really knows me
But you do
After all this time
You're always by my side
Yeah, my side
I can′t outrun your love
But why would I ever want to, yeah
It's you I want
When it′s dark and I'm lost
Every
Step I take, I want you
When I′m far from home
And uncomfortable
And no one really knows me
But you do
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But you do
The song "Far From Home" by Coby James is about feeling lost and far away from home while on a journey of self-discovery.

However, he finds comfort in knowing that God is always by his side and he is never alone.

The song ends on a positive note, with the singer accepting God's love and not wanting to run away from it.
In summary, "Far From Home" is a soulful and encouraging song about finding one's purpose and feeling connected to a higher power. It reminds us that even when we feel lost or alone in life, there is always someone who understands and loves us unconditionally.

What a monstrous talent... I've been listening to this song over a month and getting goosebumps over and over. Full of admiration, every single time. So comfy, so soothing, but most importantly, so precocious. It's such a huge blessing that someone at his age can confidently declare 'this is what I was born to do in God'. And I feel he means it. Not a pretension, not an impulse, but he means it, naturally from heart. My personal best male CCM artists of the recent years were Joshua Micah in 2017, Joel Vaughn in 2018, and Coby James in 2019. Matchless. I pray for their full blast. I pray that their lives will be worthily burnt for the construction of God's kingdom.

I've listened to a few of your songs randomly now and wasn't feeling it until this one. You have been blessed Mr. James with the total package, from voice , looks, creativity, etc. What I like is that you are using it. I wish I would have begun much sooner and it's nice to see you making a mark. There's truly nothing worse than wasted potential. Keep it real and pure and I pray your blessings will continue.
P.S. Great video. the video is perfect because the clips really get your personality through and from what I see you are someone I wish I knew. God Bless You and yours.
