Welcome Home - Kirk Franklin

Welcome to the duality of reality
Where sunshine and rain coexist to grow
Welcome smiles tears dreams and fears
Dreaming of heaven
While living in an imperfect world
Exiles and immigrants
Welcome home
Every sunrise knows the reason it's there
To light up the world for you
Created things that fly through the air
Can feel your return is soon
The galaxies
They know the countdown is near
When old things become
They become brand-new
I feel time moving faster
The earth cries for that beautiful day
Please rescue my soul
This world's not my home
I know a better place
Hallelujah
Imagine the sound
When we all get to heaven
Each nation will sing in harmony
Hallelujah
All battles will cease
When we're finally together
In the beautiful city of redeemed
Truth is I never felt welcomed or like I belonged
How great it is to finally hear
Welcome home
I'm home
Feels like home
Glad I'm home
Welcome home
Home home home
I'm home
Feels like home
So glad I'm home
Come on
The horizon will someday disappear
Only to make room for you
And your joy will erase every fear
'Cause just to get here
You don't know what I've been through
Yes sir
And every day it seems
I feel time moving faster
Come on
The earth cries for that beautiful day
My heart is homesick
Please rescue my soul
This world's not my home
I know a better place
Hallelujah
Imagine the sound
When we all get to heaven
Each nation will sing in harmony
I can only imagine
All battles will cease
When we're finally together
In the beautiful city of redeemed
To be honest
I never felt welcomed
Yes
Or like I belonged
Yes
How great it is to finally hear
Welcome home
I'm home
Feels like home
Glad I'm home
Say it again
Welcome home
Home home home
I'm home
Feels like home
So glad I'm home
Listen
A million
A million nights
Million nights
We have searched
We have searched the skies
The skies
For the answers why
For the answers why
Do we long for something more
There's times for more
Imagine the sound
When we all get to heaven
Each nation will sing in harmony
No more tears
All battles will cease
When we're finally together
No more sorrow
In the beautiful city of redeemed
Since I took my first breath
I never felt welcomed or like I belonged
How great it is to finally hear
Come on
Welcome home
I'm home
Feels like home
Glad I'm home
Welcome home
Home home home
I'm home
Feels like home
So glad I'm home
Some day you'll say
Welcome home
Home home home
I'm home
Feels like home
Glad I'm home
Yes
Welcome home
Home home home
I'm home
Feels like home
So glad I'm home
Welcome home
No more violence
No more dying
No more hate
No more lying
No more political manipulation
Or financial disparities to weaker nations
Welcome home
No more children being raised in poverty
Or the church taking more
Than what they really need
No more guns
No more abuse of power
No more disease
Feels like you're losing someone every hour
Tired of running tired of fighting
Tired of tryna fit in
Tired of looking at my neighbor
Tell me when will it all end
Welcome home
Tell me how much longer
'Til you come and get me
Get me
I'm breaking self-medicating
Leaves me empty
Welcome home
They don't love you
They don't want you
They no longer trust you
Please don't leave me
I've lost everything
I have nothing left but you
Brother 'gainst brother
In the streets we killing each other
Where's your father
Forgiving the sins of your mother
See I'm desperate
See me crying
Come take this 'cross away
Every second minute hour 'til you say
Welcome home
