Dolly Parton - Welcome Home Lyrics

[Verse 1]
With great anticipation he waited at the door
His only son was due from overseas
For months now he'd been waiting' since he'd gone off to war
And his eyes were filled with tears of great relief

[Chorus]
Welcome home, son
His loving arms held open and his heart so full of love
Welcome home, son
I've been praying and been hoping and I never did give up
I knew that you'd return to me
The place where you were meant to be
Rest now, for you've been gone too long
I heard him say as they embraced
"I've waited so long for this day
My son, my very own, Welcome home."

[Verse 2]
But a dreary rain was falling while another soldier fell
And a mother wakes up crying' in the night
She thought she'd heard him calling in that moment she could tell
Her only son had passed into the light

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Now I think of all the families that have lost a darling one
And I think how Jesus died for all our sins
And I think how much God loved us to send his only son
To live and die, and then to live again

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Welcome home
I hope to hear God saying when it's my time to go
Welcome home
While the angel band is playing' and God comes to claim my soul
The angels will be singing and jobless will be ringing
Rejoicing I'll shout and sing along
When there are no more wars to fight
And we're all children of the light
When the father and the Son say
"Welcome home"

[Outro]
Welcome home, welcome home, welcome home
