I'll be home for Christmas
Has played a thousand times
And that's just in the first week of December
And every time she hears it
She does her best not to cry
'Cause it's hard not to rememberThe choices that she made
And all the heartaches and the pain
Wondering if she could go back now
After all of her mistakesLord I wanna know
If the door is still open
Would you let me know
If the light is still on
I just wanna know
If I'll be Home for Christmas
Is so much than a song
The music drew her in
It seemed like the thing to do
Christmas even in a church she'd never been to
As the choir sang Silent Night
The preacher said,
"Do ya need to get it right?"
It's a good time now for you to come back homeAnd she fell down on her knees
As the sweetest kind of peace
Welcomed her back
Heart and soul
And she began to singI wanna thank you Lord
That the door is always open
I wanna thank you Lord
That the light is always on
And now I know for sure
That I'll be Home for Christmas
Is so much more than a song
And for anybody else who's feeling
That you can't go home again
I'll tell you like that preacher said,
"It's time to move back in"I can say for sure
That the door is always open
I can say for sure
That the light is still on
And now I know for sure
That I'll be home for Christmas
Is so much more than a song
And every prodigal is always
Welcomed home
