[Dolly Parton - Welcome Home lyrics]
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
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"
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
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
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"
Welcome home, welcome home, welcome home
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
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"
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
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
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"
Welcome home, welcome home, welcome home
