First Time in a Long Time

Rockport, Maine

Caleb Edwards finds home in a faraway place— From a documentary songwriting workshop at the Watershed School in Camden, Maine

Lyrics

I was sitting on the beach
Watching the sea turtles
Bobbing in the waves

For the first time in a long time
My home was where I stand
For the first time in a long time
This is where I wanted to stay

I wouldn’t say
I made friends there
But I loved the time with the people

For the first time in a long time
My home was where I stand
For the first time in a long time
This is where I wanted to stay

Words from Will Foote, teaching artist, to the story source of this
song: “I want to say how grateful I am that you were willing to share,
and for the story you told as part of our Veterans’ Project. The song
has kept me reflecting on myself, and there are parts of the past 5
years that it’s really helped me process in a new, less painful way. I
am grateful. Thank you.”
