” When I left home to be who I am
Some people said: No way
But I laid it all down, gave everything
In my head rang the words that my Father said
You’re never far
I will be where you are
And when you come to Me
I will open My arms

Welcome home, you
I know you by name
How do you do
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know, son, it’s good just to see your face

When I look at you holding my heart
I will give to you all that I have
Son, I know there’ll be times you will feel all alone
I will share with you the words my Father said
You’re never far
I will be where you are
And when you come to Me
You can bet I will open My arms

Welcome home, you
I know you by name
How do you do
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know, son, it’s good just to see your face

So I’ll be waiting for that day
Just to feel Your warm embrace
Your love has shown I will never be alone
For You will welcome me home

I’ll forever be, for you will say to me

Welcome home, you
I know you by name
How do you do
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know, son, it’s good just to see your face

When I left home to be who I am
Some people said: No way ”
