We Are Messengers' song 'Halfway Home' reflects on the tension between earthly life and the hope of heaven. The singer acknowledges feeling both alive and alone, admitting that trying to make it on his own has failed. He longs for the comfort of God's presence, asking for the light to be left on as he journeys toward his eternal home. The song captures a sense of being in between, not fully arrived but not giving up, trusting that God is waiting for him.

Oh I'm halfway home
But I'm half here still
Yeah I'm ready to go
But I ain't had my fill
And I can still feel heaven
When I'm going through hell
But which one's which
Hoping time will tell
Oh I'm halfway home
But I'm not there yet
A familiar road
Is easy to forget
Am I wide awake
Have I overslept
I tried the world that is
But want the one that's next
I'm only halfway home home home
I'm only halfway home home home
I'm only halfway home home home
I'm only halfway home home home
I'm only halfway
I feel so alive
And I feel so alone
Don't know why I thought
That I could make it on my own
I thought I'd arrived
But I admit I'm wrong
Don't know why I thought
That I could make it
I'm only halfway home home home
I'm only halfway home home home
I'm only halfway home home home
I'm only halfway home home home
I'm only halfway
I'm only halfway home
And all I think about is falling in your arms
Leave the light
Leave the light
Leave the light on
Leave the light on for me
Leave the light
Leave the light
Leave the light on
You keep waiting for me
Leave the light
Leave the light
Leave the light on
Leave the light on for me
Leave the light
Leave the light
Leave the light on
You keep waiting for me
Leave the light
Leave the light
Leave the light on
Leave the light on for me
Leave the light
Leave the light
Leave the light on
You keep waiting for me
Leave the light
Leave the light
Leave the light on
Leave the light on for me
Leave the light
Leave the light
Leave the light on
I can't make it on my own
I'm only halfway
I'm only halfway
I'm only halfway home home home
I can't make it on my own
I'm only halfway
I'm only halfway
I can't make it on my own
I feel so alive
And I feel so alone
Don't know why I thought
That I could make it on my own
I thought I'd arrived
But I admit I'm wrong
Don't know why I thought
That I could make it
I'm only halfway
