The Returning

Some of my people turned me away
and though it was painful
I had to leave the fray
There's a yearning in my soul
I need love to make me whole

And I know it's not how it should be
Though I love you and know you love me
And I know it's been awhile
So I'm returning from exile
Oh, yeah, oh

I've seen many obstacles over the years
And without love I felt so alone in my tears
There's a longing in my heart
From love I don't want to be apart

And I just can't believe
That it's happening for me
For it's been a long time
Since I've opened this heart of mine

I choose to walk the road with you
Hand in hand the path ahead in full view
No more question in my mind
This love is caring, gentle, and kind

And it's now how you want it to be
I love you and know you love me
On my face there is a smile
As I'm returning from exile

Oh yeah
I'm returning from exile
Oh yeah
I'm returning from exile
Oh
