Here's One For You
Witness Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A home for hire
I haven't any money to purchase one but I need a home
Old and tired but working
Need a good home, you shouldn't be alone

And you shouldn't be alone
You shouldn't be alone
And you shouldn't be alone

You shouldn't be alone

A gift from God
A seminal tried to lead a spirit down the darkest mile
Words of fear carved in stone
Need a good home, you shouldn't be alone

A journeys end, send the messenger
Let it be known that there is a good home
Forget everything that you don't wanna remember

Let it be known, let it be known
That there is a good home
There is a good home, there is a good home
Let it be known that you shouldn't be alone

You shouldn't be alone
You shouldn't be alone
And you shouldn't be alone
You shouldn't be alone

Seal my fate for me inside
When it's easier to believe, it's easier to hide
Remember every turn that you took to get here

Leave me alone, leave me alone
To find my home
Hasn't he grown, hasn't he grown?
Leave me alone to find my home

Here's one for you
Here's one for you
