Come Back Home
Journey of Remembrance: Rediscovering Roots in 'Come Back Home' by Jacob Dewitt
Lyrics
When I was a child
Reflecting on childhood experiences
Sitting on my daddy's knee
Recalling moments with father
He leaned over
Father sharing intimate words
And whispered sweet words to me
Receiving affectionate advice
I'll never forget them
Memorable words from father
And all the things he said
Reflection on impactful advice
I'm always reminding myself
Constantly reminding oneself of origins
Why I'm the man I am
Understanding personal identity
You can leave
Option to leave and start a family
Have a family and move along
Moving forward in life
Make your money
Pursuing financial success
Singing the same old songs
Continuing a familiar path
You can go away
Choosing to explore and find belonging
Find somewhere you belong
Seeking a place of belonging
You'll never be to far along
Assurance that one can always return
To come back home
Emphasizing the importance of home
I've traveled the world
Global experiences and observations
I've seen a many of things
Exposure to diverse situations
Smiles and faces
Positive interactions and reactions
Received many cheers waves
Receiving applause and recognition
It's never compared to the way that I used to feel
Comparing experiences to past emotions
I then think back to the words that I used to hear
Recalling father's words and impact
(He said)
Quoting father's advice
You can leave
Reiteration of the choice to leave
Have a family and move along
Building a family and progressing
Make your money
Earning a living through familiar endeavors
Singing the same old songs
Continuing a known musical path
You can go away
Exploring and finding one's place
Find somewhere you belong
Seeking a sense of belonging
You'll never be to far along
Assurance that home is always accessible
To come back home
Reiteration of the importance of home
You can leave
Choice to leave and start a family
Have a family and move along
Continuing the journey of life
Make your money
Pursuing financial success
Singing the same old songs
Perseverance in a familiar musical path
You can go away
Seeking a place of belonging
Find somewhere you belong
Exploring and finding one's place
You'll never be to far along
Assurance that home is always accessible
To come back home
Reiteration of the importance of home
To come back home
Stressing the significance of returning home
To come back home
Final emphasis on the return to home
