I'm gonna wrap my arms around my daddy's neck And tell him that I've missed him And tell him all about the man that I became And hope that it pleased him There's so much I want to say There's so much I want you to know When I finally make it home When I finally make it home Then I'll gaze upon the throne of the King Frozen in my steps And all the questions that I swore I would ask Words just won't come yet So amazed at what I've seen So much more than this old mind can hold When I finally make it home When I finally make it home And the sweetest sound these ears have yet to hear The voices of the angels When I finally make it home When I finally make it home
