Not Home Yet by The Gray Havens Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, the moment you found
You could start over new
Was the same that you realized the stories were true
You opened your eyes and the world you could see
Wasn't dim, it was bright
You'd have to agree
[Verse 2]
It can happen so fast
Like you step on a train
By the time you get off
You swear everything's changed
No trick of the light
But how you know it was true
Well, it's hard to explain
You were held by the view
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But the old chapter's over
And a new one begins
No room for composure
Now the door's open wide
And you're walking in
[Chorus]
And oh! Now your fears are gone
They were buried with the dawn
Oh! Now you feel alive
For the first time
And you're not home yet
Not home yet
No, you're not home yet
No, not home
But you finally found the way back
[Verse 3]
So you're on your way back
You got nothing to prove
You got all that you need
You got nothing to lose
'Cause now all of your days
If it's well understood
They'll be working together
Forever, for good
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now the long night is over
And the morning begins
You can't keep your composure
Now the door's open wide
And you're walking in
[Chorus]
And oh now, your fears are gone
They were buried with the dawn
Oh now, you feel alive
For the first time
And you're not home yet
Not home yet
No, you're not home yet
No, not home
But you finally found the way back
[Bridge]
Calling back to the open door
But you're waiting for it
Tears flow, eyes open
While the soul ignites
Calling back to the open door
But you're waiting for it
Tears flow, eyes open
While the soul ignites
[Chorus]
Oh now, your fears are gone
They were buried with the dawn
And oh now, you feel alive
For the first time
Oh now, your fears are gone
They were buried with the dawn
And oh now, you feel alive
For the first time
And you're not home yet
Not home yet
No, you're not home yet
No, not home
But you finally found the way back
Well, the moment you found
You could start over new
Was the same that you realized the stories were true
You opened your eyes and the world you could see
Wasn't dim, it was bright
You'd have to agree
[Verse 2]
It can happen so fast
Like you step on a train
By the time you get off
You swear everything's changed
No trick of the light
But how you know it was true
Well, it's hard to explain
You were held by the view
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But the old chapter's over
And a new one begins
No room for composure
Now the door's open wide
And you're walking in
[Chorus]
And oh! Now your fears are gone
They were buried with the dawn
Oh! Now you feel alive
For the first time
And you're not home yet
Not home yet
No, you're not home yet
No, not home
But you finally found the way back
[Verse 3]

Calling back to the open door

Oh now, your fears are gone

And oh now, you feel alive

Oh now, your fears are gone
They were buried with the dawn
And oh now, you feel alive
For the first time
And you're not home yet
Not home yet
No, you're not home yet
No, not home
But you finally found the way back
