Lyrics
Time to Come Home (Mindy’s Song) © 2022 J Hawkins & J Bickerstaff
V1
Some folks live their lives, and never bow to fear
Not afraid to touch a broken soul, not ashamed of honest tears
A lighthouse in the night for all they meet along the way
Offer of safe harbor in this crazy hurricane
V2
I once had a friend like that, who knew me very well
I shared with her my soul, and so much more than I can tell
And now she may be gone, but I know what she would say
As long as you remember me, I’m with you all the way
Chorus
(Till you) Rest your soul in the shade of an ancient forest
By endless waters … that flow forever … down to the sea
You will never be forgotten, you will never walk alone
No words need be spoken when it’s time to come home
Solo
V3
Nobody makes it through this life completely on their own
We come and go from this old world into that great unknown
In between those bookends you make it what you will
But it helps to have a helping hand to make up that hill
V4
Burn a single candle, one humble point of light
Light a million more and illuminate the night
See about your sister … when you hear the call
Hold on to your brother when you see that he might fall
Chorus
(Till you) Rest your soul in the shade of an ancient forest
By endless waters … that flow forever … down to the sea
You will never be forgotten, you will never walk alone
No words need be spoken when it’s time to come home
Repeat Chorus
