What if I could tell the world I see you?
What if I could make them understand?
And if I could show those fools they need you
It wouldn't change the fact that you need them
And if you find yourself in great transition
And you think perhaps you've lost your way
On the edge and fragile your position
Then there's only one thing I can say
Welcome home, yeah, 'cause it's your home
If a tree falls and nobody's listening
If a party's thrown and no one shows
And you dream about what you are missing when the wind in February blows
Welcome home, 'cause it's your home
If you hide amongst the darkness
Let me offer you a light
And if you stay, by the light of day
Fearful when the sun goes down
Come out with me tonight
What if I could make the world beseech you?
What if I could make you understand that from the highest branch no one could reach you?
But should the bough break you can take my hand
I know that really letting go (Looking for the signs that April's coming)
In spite of falling to and fro
It's not no simple thing
Not an ordinary stunt to try
But I can see it's on your mind (Can hurt worse than any ache you feel)
And whatever you will find
Whatever hope will bring
I can see it in your eye
Will bring release (Forcing words into that tune you're humming)
Perhaps a modicum of peace
Perchance to dream
Perchance to bust out at the seam
And the mere chance (Which did I make up and which were real)
Sustains as bravely I advance
But it don't matter what I do
Without some one to bring it to
Welcome home
Come home
Make it home
Go home
Leave home
And find a home
Build a home
And feel at home
'Cause it's your home
