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 （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 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'll 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
See I've been waiting for that day
Just to feel your warm embrace
Your love has shown
That 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
