This Song Makes Me Sad

I know it shouldn't, but it does. I know what it is talking about, but I can't help but think of fathers and sons, and fathers and daughters, and fathers...and sons...and daughters... And it makes me sad.

"Welcome Home (You)"
by
BRIAN LITTRELL





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

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 look at you
holding my heart
I will give to you

all that I have

Son I know there'll be times
You will feel all alone
I will share with you
the words my father said

You're 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

Said I've been waiting for that day
Just to feel your warm embrace
Your love has shown
I will never be alone
You will welcome me home
I'll forever be
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"
