Lyrics
[Verse 1] Clara, I remember the first time you stayed Past the easy words, past the plans we had made Bamenda held the dust beneath our shoes And somehow every road led me to you You saw the parts I tried so hard to hide The restless nights, the fear I kept inside You never asked me to become someone new You held my hand and let me come through [Pre-Chorus] When the days grew heavy on our shoulders When the doorways closed and nights got colder You looked at me like I was still enough And taught my tired heart the shape of trust [Chorus] Clara, you are home to me The quiet place where my heart can breathe From Bamenda’s hills to wherever we go Your love is the only road I need to know If the whole world turns and the seasons change I’ll choose your hand through the joy and pain Clara, my peace, my deepest truth Every tomorrow feels right with you [Verse 2] We laughed in kitchens with the lights turned low Made little victories feel larger than gold And when our dreams were thin as morning rain You gave me courage to begin again I’ve watched you carry more than you would say Still finding room to brighten up my day You are the strength that never needs a name The gentle fire keeping mine alive [Pre-Chorus] So if the road asks more than we expected If our brave hearts ever feel unprotected I’ll be the shoulder waiting when you fall You gave me your life; I’ll give you all [Chorus] Clara, you are home to me The quiet place where my heart can breathe From Bamenda’s hills to wherever we go Your love is the only road I need to know If the whole world turns and the seasons change I’ll choose your hand through the joy and pain Clara, my peace, my deepest truth Every tomorrow feels right with you [Bridge] I don’t need a perfect sky above us Just your voice saying, “Dwin, I’m here” Let the years leave silver in our story I’ll still find you beautiful, still draw you near And when we look back at the miles behind us At every tear we somehow made it through I’ll thank the God of all the roads we traveled For bringing me home to you [Final Chorus] Clara, you are home to me The answered prayer I was too proud to speak From Bamenda’s hills to the edge of the sea Every part of my future begins with thee When the whole world turns and the seasons change I’ll choose your hand through the joy and pain Clara, my peace, my deepest truth I’ve found my forever in loving you [Outro] Come a little closer, let me tell you low You are the best thing this heart will ever know My home, my laughter, my strength, my view Clara, my love... I choose you [Ad-libs] Always you... only you Bamenda in my heart, wherever we go Dwin loves you, Clara I’m here... I’m here
