Welcome Home - Rebekka Bakken

Standing at your door

Like so many times before

Here I’m again

Returning to a friend

You kiss my weary feet

And take me to your room

I lay my coat away

You wash my face and say:

Welcome home

It has been a while

You’ve walked a thousand miles, back home

Now leave your worries behind

And rest your mind…

This time I’m back for real

This time I will heal

Never will I

Hold that coat again

I’m at home again, it has been

A while

I’ve walked a thousand miles back home

I leave my worries behind

And rest my mind

The truth behind my words

Is only known to you

You know I won’t

Stay the summer through

Still you say:

Welcome home,

It has been a while

You’ve walked a thousand miles, back

Home, now leave your worries behind

And rest your mind…
