When you were born I was a world away
But as family we think of you every day
I wonder what will be the first words you say
And whether I'd be there at home
You've been born into difficult days
But family will keep all that trouble at bay
And you know wherever you lay
We'll be waiting for you here at home
Wait.... for you at home
Wait.... right here for you at home
The world is full of all these places to go
Oh the things that you'll see, and the people you'll know
And if you ever need some shelter from those
You'll find it here at home
I've seen and done all the things that you'll do
I know what its like when it rains down on you
But I know how it feels to be loved just for you
And that's waiting for you here at home
Wait.... for you at home
Wait.... right here for you at home
Now families they dont always see eye to eye
You're father and me go at it too many times
And I regret it 'cause we're coming to find
There are less places we can call home
So that is why you're so precious to us
Your brother and you carry on with trust
that's been built through the years
and it'll mean so much
to have somewhere you can call home
Wait.... for you at home
Wait.... right here for you at home
When you were born I was a world away
But as family we think of you every day....
It doesnt matter all the places you've been
The people you'll meet all the things that you seen
The only thing you'll ever need to believe is waiting for you at home...
As I leave you here today
I've passed on the things that my father would say
so I hope you know as I go away
Its all waiting for you at home
