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 to just 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 are 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 I've been 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 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
