A gentle folk-rock song about finding home

Folk music for postmoderns
I am what you might call a musical generalist. I listen to pretty much everything and I compose in pretty much any style, though I concentrate mainly on folk, folk-rock, rock, synth-pop, alternative, comedy, musical theatre, jazz, new-age, film music, avant-garde, and the occasional lullaby (why sing your kid to sleep with "Rock-a-bye Baby" when you can can create something personalized?). I've done most of my professional (i.e. paid) work in the theatre, where I've been musical director for dozens of productions. I was also musical director of Mental Floss, the legendary Miami improv group, for over 500 performances; I recently did a stint with Laughing Gas, which rose from the ashes of Mental Floss 11 years ago to become the longest running improv group in South Florida. As a singer-songwriter, I've concentrated most of my energy on my signature style of synth-driven folk-rock (sort of Indigo Girls meets Vangelis). I'm also something of a minor celebrity in the world of Filk (folk music for science fiction fans), where I am proud to be the object of the worlds smallest international fan base.

Lyrics
[verse 1] They say miracles, they happen all the time But they're only sleight of hand and sleight of mind But I am not so easily impressed Like all the rest [chorus] And when I hear that song I sing along When I hear that song I sing along, along [verse 2] In a memory, I am hanging from a cord In the freefall of waking to the world And a heartbeat is the only home we know But as years go by, the rhythm starts to slow [chorus] And when I hear that song I sing along When I hear that song I sing along, along [bridge] I can see my whole lifetime In the space before a breath But I run from the truth Like I run from death You can have your answers But you may not agree It's up to you [verse 3] There are moments when the answers are so clear But the problem is always getting there from here You can travel down the road that leads you home Like a melody, the words you've always known [chorus] And when I hear that song I sing along When I hear that song I sing along, along [chorus] And when I hear that song I sing along When I hear that song I sing along, along [chorus] And when I hear that song I sing along When I hear that song I sing along [chorus] And when I hear that song I sing along When I hear that song I sing along [chorus] And when I hear that song I sing along When I hear that song I sing along
