Lyric
Spread your wingsDon’t be afraid to tryThe world can be hardYou gotta live a little‘Fore you dieSo open that doorStep out in the bright sunshineFollow your heartAnd remember anytime…You can always come homeWherever life’s road leadsYou can get backTo a love that’s strong and freeAnd never be aloneIn your heart there’s still a placeNo matter how right or wrong you’ve goneYou can always come homeSo pack your bagsSmile and say good-byeAnd chase those dreamsAnd when you lie down tonightYou know that there’s someone praying for you every dayEven if you never find your wayYou can always come homeWherever life’s road leadsYou can get backTo a love that’s strong and freeAnd never be aloneAnd in your heart there’s still a placeNo matter how right or wrong you’ve goneYou can always come homeWhen I was youngMy daddy said to meThe very same wordsAnd I took those words with meWhen I was afraidI’d pull them out and thinkJust how muchThey mean to meYou can always come homeWherever life’s road leads, you can get backTo a love that’s strong and freeAnd never be aloneIn your heart there’s still a placeNo matter how right or wrong you’ve goneYou can always come home
