VERSE ONE
I know life can get a little messy, baby
it can knock you to the ground
And when the weight gets heavy, maybe
I can help you, when you're down
You've been out there burning bridges
building walls to hide behind
But please don't give up now, because
I'm right here by your side
*
**CHORUS
And you should know you're not alone
Go on and let your hair get messy
Til you feel like you're at home
Just let the wind toss you around
I've been there too, it's easy baby
Listen as I'm confessing
Let it go and find your own
That's the only answer that you're missing
Welcome home, baby, welcome home
*
**VERSE TWO
Don't make the bed
Just leave the linens on the floor
It's like you said
Don't waste time on what we did before
When you feel lost and sometimes, we all feel lost
Let the music slow you down
Don't sell your soul at any cost.....
Till you feel found, cause you will be found
*
HOOK:
I've been around enough to know
The world spins faster than the sound
Of your heart falling to the floor
Breaking in pieces on the ground
But, I've got you now
And you're not alone
*
VERSE THREE:
I know it's hard
Sometimes you have to let it die
To start over
Don't get caught up in the lie
That wishing on a four leaf clover
Will grant the wings you need to fly
The road is hard the journeys long
They say the mountains reach the sky
But those struggles make you strong
And I'll be here to help you try
I've been with you all along
*
CHORUS:
And you should know you're not alone
Go on and let your hair get messy
Til you feel like you're at home
Just let the wind toss you around
I've been there too, it's easy baby
Listen as I am confessing
Let it go and find your own
That's the only thing you're missing
Welcome home, baby, welcome home
*
**BRIDGE
Anywhere you look, you'll find me, anywhere you go
I'll be the breath you need, filling your lungs, in case you didn't know
Anytime you fall, I'll be there, I'll answer anytime you call
No need to doubt I've got you, baby, anytime at all
I've got you now
*
**CHORUS
And you should know you're not alone
Go on and let your hair get messy
Til you feel like you're at home
Just let the wind toss you around
I've been there too, baby I know
It's easy baby, I'm confessing
Let it go and find your own
That's the only thing you're missing
Welcome home, baby, welcome home
*
MUSICAL BREAK:
* Lalalala, Hmmmm, Lalala. Do, do, do, do
*
**REPEAT CHORUS
And you should know you're not alone, baby
Go on and let your hair get messy
Til you feel like you're at home, with me
Just let the wind toss you around
I've been there too
It's easy baby, all we need is some confessing
Let it go and find your own
That's the only thing you're missing
Welcome home, babe, welcome home
*
OUTRO:
Don't try to impress me, because
I know who you are
I don't need convincing baby
You shine brighter than the stars
Set your sights on things above
Don't let your troubles weigh you down
I know where you're going baby...just take a look around
**
Welcome home

It's good to have that someone to remind you that you're not alone and home has as many definitions as love.
