Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Turn around and come back home
Love's been waiting, fierce and strong
It hasn't left you, it can't forget
And every day for you, it's wept
And even though you're just a shadow of yourself
Even though you're just a shadow of yourself
I still see who you are
I still love who you are
Even though you're just a shadow of yourself
Even though you're just a shadow of yourself
I still see who you are
I still love who you are
Are, are, are
So stop with all your running
Just let this light of love in
I know deep in your heart
You know the way back home
And even though you're just a shadow of yourself
Even though you're just a shadow of yourself
I still see who you are
I still love who you are
And even though you're just a shadow of yourself
Even though you're just a shadow of yourself
I still see who you are
I still love who you are
Are, are, are
No matter how far you run away
Or how long you hide your face
There's just one thing that'll never change
You're loved, You're loved
No matter how far you run away
Or how long you hide your face
There's just one thing that you can't erase
You're loved, You're loved
Turn around and come back home
Love's been waiting, fierce and strong
