Colony House - Where I'm From Lyrics

Colony House Lyrics

"Where I'm From"

Where I'm from
Illuminated lanterns glow
that never flicker
When storm winds blow
The scent of cedar
The taste of citrus on my tongue
The sounds of silence
All feel like home

I can see it in the eyes of my son
And the eyes of my daughter
Where I'm from

Where I'm from
The lost and broken sing along
In every language, a sacred song
And I can hear it in the voice of a mother
And the cries of a child
Where I'm from
Where I'm from
Where I'm from

Here I labor on in the holy war
Find myself on the threshing floor
Praying somebody will stay with me
While I remain in between
Looking for light
In the breaking of day
Somebody stay with me

Where I'm from
I've stood outside these gates before
Trying to listen, and hear her voice
I can feel it in the middle of the rain
In the warmth of a fire
I can feel it when my heart starts to break
I was born to desire
Where I'm from
Where I'm from
Where I'm from
Where I'm from

"Where I'm From" is the third single from their third studio album. Caleb Chapman said about it, "It's a song about the beauty I see in the wonderful and also the painful things around me and how even in those fragile times in my life, there is something connecting everything."

The official music video for this song was directed by Jon Steingard and Caleb Chapman. The latter said about the visuals, "I'm just one small part of a bigger picture and that is what we wanted to capture in Shiprock, New Mexico, in the video. This simple and peaceful area that is also expansive and grandiose with each of us playing our part in the song and in life."
