When the road has left me empty
When I’m broken, tired, down and out
When the darkness feels too heavy
Where will i go?
Where will i go?
Where will i go?
When my friends were strong and steady
I was confidence and reckless with my heart
But now they’ve gone and left me
Where will i go?
Where will i go?
Where will i go?
You welcome me back home
You tell me I belong
You forgive all my wrongs
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
No matter where I’ve gone
You’ve waited all along
You open up your arms
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
You were there, you always loved
Gave me everything I could ever want
But I thought that I knew better
But I didn’t know
I didn’t know
I did not know
You welcome me back home
You tell me I belong
You forgive all my wrongs
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
No matter where I’ve gone
You’ve waited all along
You open up your arms
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
You welcome me back home
You tell me I belong
You forgive all my wrongs
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
No matter where I’ve gone
You’ve waited all along
You open up your arms
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
I run to you
