Lyrics John Popper

John Popper

Home

What if I could tell the world I see you?

What if I could make them understand?

And if I could show those fools they need you

It wouldn't change the fact that you need them

And if you find yourself in great transition

And you think perhaps you lost your way

On the edge and fragile, your position

Then there's only one thing I can say

Welcome home

Yeah, 'cause it's your home

If a tree falls and nobody's listeing

If a party's thrown and no one shows

And you dream about what you are missing

When the wind in February blows

Welcome home

'Cause it's your home

If you hide amongst the darkness

Let me offer you a light

And if you stay, by the light of day

Fearful when the sun goes down

Come out with me tonight

What if I could make the world beseech you?

What if I could make you understand?

That from the highest branch no one could reach you

But should the bought break, you can take my hand

(Looking for the signs that April's coming)

I know that really letting go

In spite of falling to and fro

It's not no simple thing

Not no ordinary stunt to try

(Can hurt worse than any ache you feel)

But I can see it's on your mind

And whatever you will find

Whatever hope will bring

I can see it in your eye

(Forcing words into that tune you're humming)

Will bring release

Perhaps a modicum of peace

Perchance to dream

Perchance to bust out at the seam

(Which did I make up and which were real?)

And the mere chance

Sustains as bravely I advance

But it don't matter what I do

Without someone to bring it to

Welcome home, come home

Make it home, go home

Leave home, find a home

Build a home and feel at home

'Cause it's your home
