I stood at the gate
Couldn’t trust my eyes
Your car pulled in slow
And I froze in place
Same old porch light
Same chipped blue frame
But your smile hit me
Like a summer rain
I laughed and I cried
At the same time
Hands on my face
Heart out of line
I heard my name
In your voice again
And the whole world shook
When you stepped in
You’re home you’re home
I can’t believe it
You’re home you’re home
And I feel my knees
All these years
Just to see you breathe
You’re home you’re home
It’s finally me
I held you too tight
Like you’d fade away
Tears on your coat
Didn’t care who stared
Your laugh in my house
Felt so alive
Every empty room
Started shining bright
I laughed and I cried
At the same time
Hands on my face
Heart out of line
I heard my name
In your voice again
And the whole world shook
When you stepped in
You’re home you’re home
I can’t believe it
You’re home you’re home
And I feel my knees
All these years
Just to see you breathe
You’re home you’re home
It’s finally me
Now the clock runs fast
Like it knows the truth
My heart won’t slow down
Since I got you
Every old scar
Feels a little less deep
You came back to me
And I can hardly speak
You’re home you’re home
I can’t believe it
You’re home you’re home
And I feel my knees
All these years
Just to see you breathe
You’re home you’re home
It’s finally me
You’re home you’re home
(you’re home)
I’ve been waiting here
You’re home you’re home
(home at last)
And the hurt disappears
All these years
Turned to open arms
You’re home you’re home
My whole heart is yours
