Lyrics
I've been fighting through the shadows
Courtrooms, letters, endless calls
Every moment they denied me
Couldn't break my heart at all
All those nights I traced your memory
Every dawn I spoke your name
I would cross a thousand lifetimes
Just to hold you once again
They tried to build their walls between us
But love was never gone
I've kept a place that no one touches
Where you've always been my son
And now you're coming home, my boy
Through the trials, through the silence
Through the storms I walked alone
You are coming home, my boy
I've carried every promise
Every hope that kept me strong
You are coming home, my boy
My heart has waited
All this time
To bring you safely home
All the birthdays I was missing
All the stories left untold
But I never stopped believing
That your heart would still know home
When you run into my open arms
Nothing else will matter more
Every wound will start to heal here
Like we've never been apart
They tried to write their version of us
But love rewrites the truth
No decree can ever sever
The bond I share with you
And now you're coming home, my boy
Through the darkness, through the distance
Through the nights I felt alone
You are coming home, my boy
Every memory, every heartbeat
Every prayer that led me on
You are coming home, my boy
And nothing's stronger
Than this love
That brings you home to me
We will reclaim the stolen moments
We were forced to spend apart
I will hold you like a promise
A redemption for my heart
And I'll whisper to your spirit
So you'll always feel it's true
When you look into my eyes
You'll see I never left you
You are coming home, my boy
Through the battles, through the bruises
Through the hope I wouldn't lose
You are coming home, my boy
Every sacrifice, each heartbeat
Every tear I shed for you
You are coming home, my boy
And nothing's stronger
Than a father's love
Bringing you back home
