There's a mad little kid at the top of the stairs
And his eyes, they gather no lies
Well, his mom and his dad, they're too high to care
And his cries drift off in the night
And I been that kid, yes it's true
And I been both of those parents too
I'm ashamed when I lost my way
But I'd do anything just to come home to you
The twilight captures the sorrow of time
In between the life and the lived
I press on through the darkness so thoroughly blind
To a lie a new morning gives
And it sparkles like all new tomorrows
I ____ my last yesterday
Tasted sweet joys and bittersweet sorrows
And I'd do anything just to come home to you
There's a meanness inside of me
Lord, it shivers my bones
That's the thing about mercy I guess
There's no man so wicked that he cannot come home
Nor so good that he passes each test
As the fires of memories burn
The grace of your love returns
To this most traveled all of highways
Where I'd do anything just to come home to you
Yeah, I'd do anything just to come home to you
