Meaning Behind the Song

“Almost Home,” a stirring and inspiring anthem that connects with people worldwide, was written by Bart Millard, the band’s main vocalist. This moving song tells listeners to never give up, even in the face of adversity, and to keep going since something better awaits them at the end of the journey.

According to reports, the song was created to resonate with what Millard’s youth pastor had said to him during an emotional conversation. The pastor stated that life is short, and for us to live our best lives, we must move forward despite any storm. 

“Almost Home” is just Millard’s way of telling his fellow Christians that no matter how hard things become, someone will always help you along the road. It might be God, your partner, family, or friends.
