The daisies on the heath are growing tall.
I walked through the grass, a thistle made me fall.
Maybe this is just how it goes.
The back and forth that life throws.
And maybe that's why I know
That I'm just starting to grow,
Just starting to learn to throw,
Until at long last I can show-
That I'm coming home.
I didn't think I would dare.
Didn't think I'd ever go home.
Thought I was already there.
With open eyes, I wasn't there.
With open eyes, too much, I care.
The love in your words makes my world warm.
When I wake up at six I think of you at dawn.
And you're not just my mother
And I've been such a bother.
I wouldn't debate what you say
If you wanted me to go away.
You're stronger than you portray
And I just hope that someday-
When I am truly home.
You will teach me how to cope.
You welcomed me back home.
I thought that I'd lost your hope.
I look at you and I'm there.
I look at you and I'm not scared.
I look at you and I'm cared.
When you came, wrapped me up and I felt your tears
I didn't expect you to forgive those unspoken years.
I do still need to heal and maybe it's not real.
But forgiveness is absolute
And that's saved me more than truth.
Now I'm welcome back home,
I don't foresee more hungry cold
Just a warmth and smile and glow-
So chaos, give me a throw.
I'm landing back home.
I've been away too long.
I feel the warmth at home.
Like an Otis Redding Song.
This is where I grew strong.
This is where I belong
I look at you and you care.
You look at me and I care.
