You know I had my doubts
I thought the fire went out
But the old winds are blowing, blowing again
You know I lost my way
And I'm sure I will again someday
But there's a whisper calling, calling again

This is the sound of a child coming home
Hallelujah
This is the sound of a welcome prodigal
Hallelujah
I thought I was too far gone
But you always leave the light on
Praise God, praise God, praise God
I'm coming home

Thought I was miles away
Somehow my vision changed
You've been with me, with me all along
Took me a long, long time
To finally realize
That you've never, ever, ever shut the door

This is the sound of a child coming home
Hallelujah
This is the sound of a welcome prodigal
Hallelujah
I thought I was too far gone
But you always leave the light on
Praise God, praise God, praise God
I'm coming home

For those who are afraid to come
There is no fear in perfect love
For those who don't know where to start
He always meets us where we are
For those with just a little faith
A little faith is all it takes
He's calling, He's calling

If you got caught up in religion's game
Then let him show you the real thing
For the skeptic still in search of truth
He'll bring that child out in you
Oh, what are you still waiting for
He's standing at an open door
He's calling, He's calling

This is the sound of a child coming home
Hallelujah
This is the sound of a welcome prodigal
HallelujahThis is the sound of a child coming home
Hallelujah
This is the sound of a welcome prodigal
Hallelujah
I thought I was too far gone
But you always leave the light on
Praise God, praise God, praise God
Praise God, praise God, praise God
I'm coming home
