When love leaves, taking your home and walls, Let the elements beat you down No job or acquaintances to shield you Nothing but waiting as your friend and foe For a home with love buzzing in the hive To be a lucky one with honey waiting Others wait days, some a lifetime, without a roof You take a little bit of my love where you go Something I thought couldn’t be taken away When they drag you to that windowless room Remember you’re homeward bound Back to where love never leaves Where a roof over your head is steadfast It’s not in the drywall or joists held by nails Home is the blueprint etched in the atrium You can start again and again from there You can rebuild Palestine as a home again You can make heathen Babylonians pay With each brick of Jerusalem rising When love comes, rebuild your home Preserve your good foundation for love We’re all nomads waiting for home to return After eons we still doubt home is where hearts are When you’re heartsick, know love happened Even for a second out of your home of a womb You can be a home to a trimester of hope When love expels you as broken, build When no one knocks at your frameless door Keep your engineered door ajar An invitation for love’s design Be a recalcitrant faithful Waiting for no carpenter Be a chance for love to rebuild
