Homecoming
Nomadic Farmers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now it seems to have changed nothing remains inside these walls
What I need now is someone to be a home for my heart
That breaks at every thought of living outside the glory of our God
Let me return to the place I was before, let me be restored
Help me hold fast to the hope that I have known in You, O Lord, in You
Back in your arms again wondering how I ever strayed away
Here to set me free
Let me return to the place I was before, let me be restored
Help me hold fast to the hope that I have known in You, O Lord, in You
Let me return to the place I was before, let me be restored
Help me hold fast to the hope that I have known in You, O Lord, in You
The lyrics of "Homecoming" by Nomadic Farmers explore themes of longing, redemption, and finding solace in a higher power. The song begins with a reflection on a failed love, expressing regret for wasted time and the realization that nothing remains within the walls of the relationship. There is a yearning for someone to provide a home for the singer's heart, which seems to break with every thought of living outside the glory of their God.

The lyrics express a desire to hold fast to the hope that they have known in the Lord, seeking strength and guidance from a higher power.

The second verse takes a different perspective, as the singer reflects on being back in the arms of their love and wonders how they ever strayed away. It becomes clear that the love they were searching for and longing for, the one that would provide a home for their heart, is found in this person. The imagery of being under their wings suggests a sense of protection and safety. The singer finally realizes that this person has been waiting for them, ready to set them free from their feelings of loss and longing.
The chorus repeats the plea to return to the place they were before, to be restored and to hold fast to the hope they have found in their relationship with their significant other. However, it can also be interpreted as a metaphorical plea to return to their connection with their faith and to find restoration and hope in a spiritual sense.
Overall, the lyrics of "Homecoming" convey a sense of longing, loss, and the search for home and belonging.
