You’ve been gone so long; you’re out there on your own
And you’ve got me all wrong if you think you can’t come home
‘Cause every day I wait, though they call me “Fool”
But I’m not ashamed to sit and watch for you
So come home to me child of wandering will
Come home to me, your daddy loves you still
I want to celebrate, can’t you hear my heart?
To pull you from the waste and back into my arms…
I’ve got my favorite ring, a calf and sandals too
A robe fit for a king and I’d give ‘em all to you
(CHORUS)
I don’t care how far you’ve walked away
Just turn and come back home and you will see
It doesn’t matter what you’ve done along the way
I just want you here again with me
See, you’ve been gone so long; you’re out there all alone
And you’ve got me all wrong if you think you can’t come home
