When I left home to be who I am

You’re never far

I will be where you are
Gm7
And when you come to Me
Bb
I will open My arms (open My arms)

Welcome home, you

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

You’re never far

I will be where you are

And when you come to Me

You can bet I will open My arms
