Unfamiliar Heaven Lyrics by Robyn Ottolini
I didn’t like change ’cause I was afraid that it would change me
‘Cause who would I be if I let the world go and rearrange me?
I was stubborn like an old oak tree
Melancholy roots ran deep
Thought it’d be easier if my leaves stayed evergreen
But ignorance ain’t bliss
And white pickets are still fences
So now I count to three
And ask the harder questions
Chaos felt like peace
‘Til I challenged every lesson
Could’ve stayed warm in a sweet familiar hell
Bent on second guessing
But I’ll take the road that’s travelled less
On the quest for an unfamiliar heaven
I’m rolling out the welcome mat for things I used to run from
Tell the wolves I’m home but now my growl sounds like a soft hum
White knuckles on the wheel
Bow my head but never kneel
Not sure who I’ve become but I know I ain’t who I once was
Now I count to three
And ask the harder questions
Chaos felt like peace
‘Til I challenged every lesson
(Could’ve stayed warm) in a sweet familiar hell
Bent on second guessing
But I’ll take the road that’s travelled less
On the quest for an unfamiliar heaven
I don’t know where I’m gonna find it
Or when
But I hope that I make my way in
Amen
