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
