[Verse 1:]
Mother, I have gone astray, ooh
I'm sorry, but I've lost my way, ooh
Everybody knows my name here
But nobody really knows me, ooh
[Pre-Chorus 1:]
If I close my eyes real tight
I can see what might have been
If I turn out all the lights
I can sit and just pretend
Mother I'm afraid too far, ooh
I don't know who else to call
[Chorus:]
I wanna come home
I wanna come home
Where the streets lead back to where I'm bound
Where my feet feel steady on the ground
I wanna come home
Mother, can you take me home to you?
Mother, can you take me home to you?
[Verse 2:]
Mother, can you hear my voice? Ooh
Calling through the dense white noise, ooh
I've been chasing dreams and stars, ooh
Along the way I lost my heart, ooh
[Pre-Chorus 2:]
And if I sit alone real still
Sometimes I can feel you here
Maybe you could take the wheel
Try and get me out of here
Mother I have gone astray, ooh
And tell me I will be okay
[Chorus:]
I wanna come home
I wanna come home
Where the streets lead back to where I'm bound
Where my feet feel steady on the ground
I wanna come home
Mother, can you take me home to you?
Mother, can you take me home to you?
Mother, can you take me home to you?
Mother, can you take me home to you?
[Outro:]
Mother, can you take me home to you?
Mother, can you take me home to you?
Mother, can you take me home to you?
Mother, can you take me home to you?
