Home

You'd sit on the porch and wait for me when I would run away
And I'd make excuses in my mind but you just stayed the same

And you waited, you waited for me
And you saw me coming back, and laced your feet

And I thought being far from love was always mine
But you would always save a seat and plate for me at night
I'm crying in your arms with all my might

I'm sorry feet were heavy
My plowing hands weren't steady
And you just say
"Sweet child I'm glad your home
There's so much I wanna show you
I'm glad you're home."

I thought I would have to earn your trust
But you just let me in
The snakes say "there's no way it's this simple"
But you say that it is

No more waiting, waiting to see
What you have in store for, you and me

I thought that you would hate me for my life
But we're both on the ground with teary eyes
You're the only way my life can come alive

I'm sorry that I hurt you
I don't wanna live without you
And you cry out
"My child is finally home
I'll never let you go
I'm glad you're home."
