[Verse 1]
Daddy is blowing leaves around the lawn
He's laughing and joking and humming funny songs
He's saying, "You gotta stand for something, child"
And his heart is wide open as he looks me in the eyes
He says

[Pre-Chorus]
"When the weight of the world is on your shoulders
The rope's getting thin
Run for the hills, lay down in the water"

[Chorus]
But I just wanna come home
Home, home, home
Where I started from, yeah
Home, home, home
Before the weight of thе world
Turns my heart to stone

[Verse 2]
Mama is holding tomatoes in thе yard
Her hair is all golden and her soul's a superstar
She's dancing to Billy's, you gotta find your way
She's saying, "Don't worry, 'cause I love you anyway"
She says
[Pre-Chorus]
"If you ever feel like you don't matter
Your best ain't good enough
Run for the hills, lay down in the water"

[Chorus]
But I just wanna come home
Home, home, home
Where I started from, yeah
Home, home, home
Before the weight of the world
Turns my heart to stone

[Bridge]
I was so lucky as anyone could ever be
My love is long and deeper than the sea
No, I never said it and hope you will forgive
'Cause I thank you both for teaching me how to live
If the weight of the world should leave you tired
Abandoned and stoned
I will be there, I am your daughter

[Chorus]
And I'm coming home
Home, home, home
I'm coming home
Home, home, home
Yeah, I'm coming home
Before the weight of the world
Before the weight of the world
Oh, I'm coming home
Before the weight of the world
Before the weight of the world
Yeah, I'm coming home
Before the weight of the world
Before the weight of the world
Oh, I'm coming home
Before the weight of the world
Before the weight of the world
