Open hearts, open doors
A village that raised me
A mom that gave me love
A dad that showed me possibilities
Gossip, Judgement, Tradition
I couldn't wait to get away
Homemaker, values, hard work
If I had stayed, who would I be?
The spirit I found on the mountain
The bicycle that gave me freedom
Places to hide, a stage to play on
Yet craving a plane ride because a hallmark town can be lonely
I was only there for 17 birthdays
The town that formed my life's pilgrimage
A world traveled adult now, with the pull of a childhood memory
What remains in me is the faith of the community
