I've had a hard time since I went away
Trying to make it on my own
Thank you Mom
for the prayers you've prayed
And for this welcome home
It took a long time for me to get here
I made some stops along the way
Had I know how much you'd welcome me
I would have been here yesterday
I love the way you welcomed me
With both arms open wide
I've never seen such a beautiful smile
And I love being by your side
The world has nothing to offer me
That I'd ever trade you for
And the greatest place in all the world
Is here at your open door
