Welcome Home Again

It's been so long

Since I've seen you smile;

You're yourself again,

But it's been awhile.

We all missed you

When a part of you died;

You tried to keep to yourself,

But we saw you cry.

Did you know you were gone?

It doesn't matter now;

Just welcome home;

Welcome home again.

I hear you laugh

And my heart cracks;

It's so good to know

That you're back.

Where have you been?

Was it lonely there?

Was it silent and dark?

What made you despair?

Why did you stay so long?

It doesn't matter now;

Just welcome home;

Welcome home again.

I didn't notice

Just how quiet you'd been

Until you started

Letting me back in.

You've stopped keeping secrets

Like you did for so long;

Your color's returned;

Your ghostly pallor is gone.

You forgot what was wrong;

It doesn't matter now.

Just welcome home;

Welcome home again.

You've remembered the songs

That you used to sing;

You forgot how to fly,

Now you've found your wings.

You're not a new person,

Just the old one again;

We both made mistakes,

But you're still my friend.

Let's sing like we haven't for so long;

It matters more than ever,

So welcome home;

Welcome home again.
