Whoever said you can’t go back / Whoever sold you a lie like that / Whoever said you could fall too far / Did you forget whose child you are / Well, truth is I’ve been counting the days / ‘Til My tear stained eyes see your beautiful face / And I leave every light on to lead you home / So come home, come back home / Love stands waiting for your return / Love stand hoping you’ll come
back from wherever you were / When you can’t stand on your own anymore / Love stands waiting / So what are you waiting for / Guilt steals any hope of your return / But grace heals all the bridges burned / So drop that heavy load you bare / Yesterday’s behind you, so leave it there / Don’t you know how much I love you, come back home / Don’t you ever stop believing

Behind the Song:DAVID WROTE ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER WHO HAD TRAVELLED SO FAR FROM THE INNOCENCE OF CHILDHOOD TO DRUGS AND ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS. AFTER MANY TEAR FILLED PRAYERS, GOD BROUGHT THEIR LITTLE GIRL HOME TO THEM AND SHE BEGAN TO HEAL. THIS IS THE PRODIGAL STORY AND ONE SO MANY PARENTS ARE PRAYING FOR. - Matthew West
