Lyrics
Welcome to the duality of reality
Where sunshine and rain coexist to grow
Welcome smiles, tears, dreams, and fears
Dreaming of heaven while living in an imperfect world
Exiles and immigrants, welcome home
Every sunrise knows the reason it's there
To light up the world, for You
Created things that fly through the air
Can feel Your return is soon
The galaxies, they know the countdown is near
When Old things become, they become brand new
I feel time moving faster
The earth cries for that beautiful day
Please rescue my soul
This world's not my home
I know a better place
Imagine the sound when we all get to heaven
Each nation will sing in harmony
All battles will cease when we're finally together
In the beautiful city of redeemed
I never felt welcomed or like I belonged
How great it is to finally hear
Welcome Home
I'm home
Feels like home
Glad I'm home
Welcome Home
I'm home
Feels like home
So glad I'm home
The horizon will someday disappear
Only to make room for You
And Your joy will erase every fear
'Cause just to get here
You don't know what I've been through
I feel time moving faster
The earth cries for that beautiful day
Please rescue my soul
This world's not my home
I know a better place
Imagine the sound when we all get to heaven
Each nation will sing in harmony
All battles will cease when we're finally together
In the beautiful city of redeemed
I never felt welcomed or like I belonged
How great it is to finally hear
Welcome home
I'm home
Feels like home
Glad I'm home
Welcome home
I'm home
Feels like home
So glad I'm home
A million nights
We have searched the skies
For the answers why
Do we long for something more?
Imagine the sound when we all get to heaven
Each nation will sing in harmony
All battles will cease when we're finally together
In the beautiful city of redeemed
I never felt welcomed or like I belonged
How great it is to finally hear
Welcome home
I'm home
Feels like home
Glad I'm home
Welcome home
I'm home
Feels like home
So glad I'm home
Welcome home
I'm home
Feels like home
Glad I'm home
Welcome home
I'm home
Feels like home
So glad I'm home
Welcome home
No more violence, no more dying
No more hate, no more lying
No more political manipulation
Or financial disparities to weaker nations
Welcome home
No more children being raised in poverty
Or the church taking more than what they really need
No more guns, no more abuse of power
No more disease, feels like you're losing someone every hour
Tired of running, tired of fighting, tired of tryna fit in
Tired of looking at my neighbor, tell me, when will it all end?
Welcome home
Tell me, how much longer till You come and get me?
I'm breaking, self-medicating leaves me empty
Welcome home
They don't love You, they don't want You, they no longer trust You
Please don't leave me, I've lost everything, I have nothing left but You
Brother 'gainst brother, in the streets we killing each other
Where is your father? Forgiving the sins of your mother
See I'm desperate, see me crying, come take this cross away
Every second minute hour till You say
Welcome home
