Coming Home Lyrics
A father waits upon a son
A mother prays for his return
I just called to see
If you still have a place for me
We know that like took us apart
But you’re still within my heart
I go to sleep and feel your spirit next to me
I’ll make it home again
I pray you’ll fall in love again
Just say you’ll entertain the possibility
I learned enough from my mistakes
Learned from all I didn’t say
Won’t you wait for me
It may be long to get me there
It feels like I’ve been everywhere
But someday I’ll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I’ll be coming home
We fight to stay alive
But somebody’s got to die
It’s so strange to me
A new year, a new enemy
Another soldier gone to war
Another story told before
Now it’s told again
It seems the wars will never end
But we’ll make it home again
Back where we belong again
We’re holding on to when
We used to dare to dream
We pray we live to see
Another day in history
Yes we still believe
It may be long to get me there
It feels like I’ve been everywhere
But someday I’ll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I’ll be coming home
I’m coming, I’m coming, I’m coming…
You know that I’ll be coming home
It may be long to get me there
It feels like I’ve been everywhere
But someday I’ll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I’ll be coming home
A mother prays for his return
I just called to see
If you still have a place for me
We know that like took us apart
But you’re still within my heart
I go to sleep and feel your spirit next to me
I’ll make it home again
I pray you’ll fall in love again
Just say you’ll entertain the possibility
I learned enough from my mistakes
Learned from all I didn’t say
Won’t you wait for me
It feels like I’ve been everywhere
But someday I’ll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I’ll be coming home
But somebody’s got to die
It’s so strange to me
A new year, a new enemy
Another soldier gone to war
Another story told before
Now it’s told again
It seems the wars will never end
But we’ll make it home again
Back where we belong again
We’re holding on to when
We used to dare to dream
We pray we live to see
Another day in history
Yes we still believe
It feels like I’ve been everywhere
But someday I’ll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I’ll be coming home
You know that I’ll be coming home
It feels like I’ve been everywhere
But someday I’ll be coming home
Round and round the world will spin
Oh, the circle never ends
So you know that I’ll be coming home

haven't been the biggest John Legend fan, always felt he was overrated but this song is next level stuff. Beautiful lyrics laid on top of a beautiful melody. An instant favorite of mine.
this song is great. i love the melody and the lyrics. it can be about different things to different ppl.
whether its a soldier coming home from war, or someone coming back to where they belong after being away for a long time.
i love it.
It's about the soldiers in Iraq.
Its about the hope that even through years love still stays , between family friends and lovers .
i don't understand this song. if someone could just comment and explain it to me, that would be great.
Great song. John Legend always writes from the heart. It sounds like it's about a soldier who had to go to war, and left someone he was in love with behind. So he tells her she can fall in love with someone else, but deep down he prays she will wait for his return. He failed to tell her how he truly felt for her, and now he regrets it. The second verse is him looking around and realizing that he's not seving a purpose being there because there will always be a war going on. He realized what's important. Her. Fantastic melody
