"Home" was written by Alaina Blair and Daniel Newell. The pair have been a writing team since 2015, also writing on Blair's last album, "Love It or Leave It," produced by Warren Huart(Aerosmith, The Fray) in 2015. Since then, Daniel and Alaina have penned a number of songs together, including a batch of new tunes due to release later this year. Newell not only played on this tastefully orchestrated track, but also took on the roles of Mixer and Producer. 

The inspiration for "Home", came four years ago, when Blair was approached by a homeless man at one of her shows, who had asked her to sing "Amazing Grace". Not wanting to disappoint, she began to sing the famous hymn he'd requested. Without hesitation, the man immediately hit his knees in front of the stage, with his arms open wide, singing along to every single word. The tears streaming down his face were quickly mirrored in the faces of other witnesses, who were moved by this unbelievably touching moment. One thing was clear, although this man didn't have much, he had everything he needed in his faith. 

What started the writing process for this truly special song was the opening riff, played by Daniel. The mood and emotion of his playing transported Blair to that very memorable show and it was obvious what they would write about. This song is an unspoken testimony to encourage us all to take comfort in knowing the struggles we face in our lifetime are only temporary as we make our way "Home".
