[00:00.93] Home, come on home
[00:13.35] Ye who are weary come home
[00:18.05] Softly and tenderly calling
[00:24.53] Home, come on home
[00:28.66] Sometimes when I'm feeling lonesome
[00:34.05] And no one on earth seems to care
[00:39.44] I'm all by myself in the darkness
[00:43.92] With no one and nothing to share
[00:50.05] Just when it feels like it's hopeless
[00:54.94] And I'll never make it alone
[01:00.23] I hear the voices of angels
[01:04.32] Tenderly calling me home
[01:09.93] Home, come on home
[01:15.54] Ye who are weary come home
[01:19.93] Softly and tenderly calling
[01:25.76] Home, come on home
[01:31.47] I try to keep it together
[01:35.15] I never let on that I'm scared
[01:40.65] Still sometimes I fall to pieces
[01:45.59] Scattered and lost everywhere
[01:50.75] Just when it feels like there's no one
[01:56.41] To mend all my broken down dreams
[02:00.83] I hear a voice deep inside me
[02:06.18] Tenderly calling to me
[02:10.95] Home, come on home
[02:15.93] Ye who are weary come home
[02:20.94] Softly and tenderly calling
[02:26.83] Home, come on home
[02:31.35] So don't be afraid of the darkness
[02:47.17] And don't run away from the storm
[02:52.82] Stand up and face your reflection
[02:57.86] The feelings you try to ignore
[03:03.05] After the tempest is over
[03:08.26] You've let yourself come on through
[03:13.36] You'll hear a voice in the silence
[03:17.66] Tenderly calling to you
[03:22.96] Home, come on home
[03:27.84] Ye who are weary come home
[03:33.56] Softly and tenderly calling
[03:39.34] Home, come on home
