Back to the Soil

Chorus

Take me back to the soil, to the ground beneath my feet

Where the river moves slowly, and the world feels complete

I’ve wandered too far, lost my truth in the race

But I find myself healing in this long-forgotten place

Post-Chorus

Back home, back home

Oh, to the soil I belong

Verse 2

Mama sang by the cornfields, her voice rough and free

With her hands in the garden, she taught courage to me

I traded that calm for the rush of neon and noise

But the peace that I’m craving’s not found in these toys

Pre-Chorus

I’m tired of pretending, tired of running blind

The wind calls me softly, stirring memories in my mind

Chorus

Take me back to the soil, to the ground beneath my feet

Where the river moves slowly, and the world feels complete

I’ve wandered too far, lost my truth in the race

But I find myself healing in this long-forgotten place

Post-Chorus

Back home, back home

Oh, to the soil I belong

Chorus

Take me back to the soil, to the ground beneath my feet

Where the river moves slowly, and the world feels complete

I’ve wandered too far, lost my truth in the race

But I find myself healing in this long-forgotten place

Post-Chorus

Back home, back home

Oh, to the soil I belong

Bridge

Now my hands are weathered, dirt resting on my skin

Each furrow in the field tells where I’ve been

I hear my father’s laughter rolling with the rain

Simple words returning like a long-remembered name

Chorus

Take me back to the soil, to the ground beneath my feet

Where the river moves slowly, and the world feels complete

I’ve wandered too far, lost my truth in the race

But I find myself healing in this long-forgotten place

Outro

One day I’ll settle, roots deep in gentle ground

With morning sun shining, peace is finally found

No more restless longing, no more distant calls

Just the comfort of the soil when my evening falls
