I’m
not sure how Simon or Garfunkel wanted thier audience to interpret
these lyrics but for me they spoke about how God has finally brought me home and Gee it’s great to be back home! It’s crazy to think that I had to travel this far to Swaziland, Africa in order to realize how close my true home
really is, not my couch and tv-remote So God created this home for me. This life of feeling
complete and perfect in God’s eyes and living for him and nobody else is
home and it took me 19 years to find it. I seriously was on the road
for so long from Fort Lee and Fanwood, New Jersey then Boston,
Massachusetts, and now Africa?! And all that time spent I have wonderful
memories from but looking back I never felt comfortable, like I was actually at home, relaxed and living. I know my family and friends can agree with me when I say that everywhere I went I was slandered and libeled. It was awful and aggravating, dragging myself along on a rough and long road but then God reminds me that my time isn’t his time and he is teaching me this still. So now that I am finally home I agree that it is the same old story even though I know my story is unique; God created man, man betrayed God, God sent his son to give us a new life, and if we accept it, it’s everlasting. So my life is now an everlasting one and I am so happy to be home!
