(Verse 1)
I packed my dreams, left the open door,
Chased the world, but I wanted more.
Silver and gold slipped through my hands,
Left me broken in foreign lands.
Shadows grew where the light had been,
Lost in the echoes of my own sin.
But in the silence, I heard a name—
A whisper of grace calling me again.
(Chorus)
Come back home, the door’s still wide,
Arms of mercy open, no need to hide.
No shame too deep, no scar too strong,
The Father’s been waiting all along.
Come back home, where you belong.
(Verse 2)
I rehearsed my words, “I’m not your son,”
But love doesn’t measure what I’ve done.
Ran to me with tears in His eyes,
Wrapped me in grace I couldn’t deny.
A ring on my finger, robes of white,
A feast prepared, the lost in sight.
Not for who I was, but for who I am—
A child restored by the Great I Am.
(Chorus)
Come back home, the door’s still wide,
Arms of mercy open, no need to hide.
No shame too deep, no scar too strong,
The Father’s been waiting all along.
Come back home, where you belong.
(Bridge)
No distance too far, no valley too low,
Love reaches deeper than we’ll ever know.
When you think you’re too far gone,
That’s where His grace has just begun.
(Final Chorus)
Come back home, the door’s still wide,
Arms of mercy open, no need to hide.
No shame too deep, no scar too strong,
The Father’s been waiting all along.
Come back home, where you belong.
(Outro)
I was lost, now I’m found,
I was blind, but now I see—
Home was never far…
It was always waiting for me.
