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

A/N

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