Wayward Son's Return

Lifetimes of stories etched on his face
Searching for solace, for just one embrace
Battling the winds of a city's cruel might
Hoping the dawn might bring some new light
Every path leads to memories so strong
But the journey feels endlessly long
Wandering through the streets so unknown
Searching for a light to guide him home
Every night a different song, but the melody always feels wrong
But he was a lonely man
All the boys around him say he's been too gone
But he finds his way cause he can
Oh, come home, come home, come home to the place where you're free, yeah
Oh, come home, come home, where the hearts are gentle, see, yeah
And where the skies are open and wide, where every tear can finally dry
Come home, he whispers to the night
In dreams he sees horizons clear
Where paths no longer haunt him dear
He walks the line where shadows fall
Whispering to walls that seem so tall
A flicker of hope in the twilight glow
Guiding him through the darkness he knows
Oh, come home, come home, come home to the place where you're free
