Welcome Home (You)

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" (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 in, sit down

Tell me how you are

I know, son

It's good just to see your face

When I look at you holdin' 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 in, sit down

Tell me how you are

I know, son

It's good just to see your face

See, I been waitin' 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 in, 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"
