After the longest exile
Trying to fake it on my own
I'm aching for my home.
I've been astray for much too long
And knowing I've done you so much wrong,
Just makes me feel that much more alone.
But in my sadness I hear you calling, so
I'm coming back home to build what I tore down
I left my world in shambles
Only this time I'll let You wear the crown, ohh
I'm coming back home to build what I tore down
If you will forgive me
You won't fail me, You won't let me down
(coming back home to build it)
I've been afraid of what I'll find
When I open the door to what's inside
I'm back, but all's not right / A past I long to hide
Cuz there is still a mess to clean up
There are wars to fight and be freed of
But if You're there with me I will have no reason to fear
Cuz in this madness You are my solace
Into Your arms this wayward son is...
