Lyrics
Welcome Home (c) 2004 Ken Kahn
There's a path out of the darkness in the north and it feels like forgiveness raining down.
When the talking is over, a faint forgotten song: All is done, all is still welcome home.
Fear no drum, welcome home.
And the past is a reminder, this we know,
Or we'll keep doing it over down the years.
But to hold on forever means never letting go.
Never say, all is done, welcome home.
Never hear welcome home.
Kayleigh and Catherine (Carrie and Eric) building; Lia and Sara (Matt and Alyssa) singing.
When the walls come tumbling down, no dust, no sound, welcome home,
Fear no drum, welcome home
Just two steps closer to heaven, hold my soul
As the wheels keep on grinding round and round
When they all come full circle we'll be at war again.
Or instead, could we say welcome home?
Fear no drum, welcome home.
Every child is a believer, so they say, and their days numbered in learning, down the years
Say it early and often: rebuild this tired world, learn it well, learn to say welcome home
Learn to sing welcome home.
Hallelujah, rain it on down. No dust, no sound, welcome home.
