Verse 1:
Sometimes it takes a little more than a lifetime to mend a broken heart
‘Cause all of my joy, it comes and goes like a winter wind that makes me catch cold.
I am a rose that wants to fly away like the butterfly that escapes my thorns
‘Cause I don’t recall a single time that I’ve felt like I truly belong to this world.
But now I know
Chorus:
There’s always time to try to make a name and make the grade.
It feels sublime to hold the world inside your hands.
But then you find your grip is lose, you feel the crushing weight,
And all this time there’s Someone who is calling you Home.
Come Home.
Verse 2:
We’re all aboard the loneliness train in search of a destination.
But I’d rather dive right out the window than ride on a train that will plummet.
But He paid the price for me to ride on that glory bound train of Life.
But I can’t help wondering when the train will reach the end of its line.
When will it arrive?
Bridge:
The tired sun will shine on tired eyes and downcast hearts.
We need to realize the Earthly lies that we
Gobble up will leave us hungry, never satisfied.
But I can hardly wait to feast upon the glory of the Lord in Heaven.
And all of our hopes and our dreams of worldly pleasure
Won’t amount to anything of any measure.
And all the world will fall to their knees, His name forever.
All the world will fall to their knees.
Last chorus:
There’s always time to try to make a name and make the grade.
It feels sublime to hold the world inside your hands.
But then you find your grip is lose, you feel the crushing weight,
And all this time there’s Someone who is calling you Home.
And all of our hopes and our dreams of worldly pleasure
Won’t amount to anything of any measure.
And all of our hopes and our dreams of worldly pleasure
Won’t amount to anything of any measure.
And all the world will fall to their knees; He reigns forever.
All the world will fall to their knees.
