[Verse] When the kids come home Will you throw your arms around them? Since you've been watching for so long For them on the...horizon And will the dirty face of youth Seek direction in our eyes when they return? [Chorus] When the kids come home - Returning from the dead Nights alone, days unfed In a place they never belonged When the kids come home - the celebration's on! Welcome home - Our long-lost son Who once was dead - but now alive [Verse] Back in the fold Your brothers still adore you Even though they always knew You'd regret the path that led you away Please just give them all the time That it takes to be okay [Chorus] When the kids come home - Returning from the dead Nights alone, days unfed In a place they never belonged When the kids come home - the celebration's on! Welcome home - Our long-lost son Who once was dead - but now alive
