Story Behind The Song
the lyrics are taken from the story of crossing the Red Sea. While the tribes of Israel are arguing among themselves, one man takes it upon himself to jump into the water. It is not until the water has gone over his nose and he is fully committed to his path that the seas divide and he is able to reach his destination. This song is a modern interpretation of that story.

Lyrics
Coming Home
Todd Herzog
I put one foot in the water
Just to test my resolution
I'm not sure I've got exactly what it takes
But as my body's getting colder
My intent is growing bolder
And I push my limitations till they break
I don't care if this ends up a big mistake
I'll cross that bridge I will not hide
I'll see what's on the other side
I'll step beyond the world I've come to know
I won't let questions hold me back
My faith is more than what I lack
It's courage over reason where I'm going
I'm headed where my spirit's free to roam
I'm coming home
As I wade a little deeper
Fear and doubt begin to seep in
I wonder how I've gotten to this place
I'm about to head for shore
But something's stirring at my core
I know the time has come for me to find my way
I know that I am different today
I'll cross that bridge I will not hide
I'll see what's on the other side
I'll step beyond the world I've come to know
I won't let questions hold me back
My faith is more than what I lack
It's courage over reason where I'm going
I'm headed where my spirit's free to roam
I'm coming home
Now I am standing with my head above the water
Taking a breath before I slip into the sea
Saying a prayer as I prepare to cross the border
Then right before my eyes
The crimson sea divides
I'll cross that bridge I will not hide
I'll see what's on the other side
I'll step beyond the world I've come to knowI won't let questions hold me back
My faith is more than what I lack
It's courage over reason where I'm going
I'm headed where my spirit's free to roam
I'm coming home
