I teach/chair a Christian 12 Step group and use music to reach people. Coming Home was a perfect fit.

Coming Home

As I peel away All the years of pain I discovered what's been all along You were so right I was so wrong

Admitting that there is a problem. That God is right and you are wrong. Only He can restore you.

Every shooting star They all fall so hard They all fade like a played out song Now is the time Before all is lost I'm coming home I'm coming home So I'm coming home Lost on a road I don't belong I'll rest my song I'm so alone Far from the streets I call my own

I'm coming home

I imagine the Prodigal on the walk home. He has given up, put down his wandering song, but still must travel that humbling journey home.

Rushing back to me As the city sleeps So afraid of what I will find Memories they haunt From deep inside

All the things that drag us under, that hinder our progress home; fear. In the dark hours, all alone the accuser tries to crush us. What if those that we return to do not accept us back?

Every broken man Comes to understand that he'll never find paradise When all that he wants Was there all the time

I'm coming home I'm coming home

So I'm coming home Lost on a road I don't belong I'll rest my song I'm so alone Far from the streets I call my own

So I'm coming home Back to a world left long ago And now I know I'm coming home I'll find my way back I'm letting go I'm coming home

Triumphant declaration; "Now I know, I'm coming Home, I'll find my way back!"

We come to find What we take for granted Keeps us alive in the end

God is our source, we live breathe, and move in Him and He in us.

So don't let time Leave you empty handed Reach out tonight and make amends

Make amends to the King. NOW! He RUNS to meet you!

So I'm coming home Back to the place where I belong I'll rest my song I'm so alone Far from the streets I call my own

So I'm coming home Back to a world left long ago Now I know I'm coming home I'll find my way back I'm coming home I'm coming home

Amen BUK spot on analysis!
