LYRIC SHEET

“COME HOME”

TALKING

THIS SONG IS DEDICATED IN THE LOVING MEMORY OF MY DEAR BROTHER CHUCK. I KNOW IT’S HARD FOR ME TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS, BUT THROUGH THE GIFT OF MUSIC I ALWAYS TEND TO FIND A WAY. AND CHUCK, EVEN THOUGH GOD CALLED YOU TO COME HOME, JUST REMEMBER I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

VERSE 1

TO MY BIG BROTHER, ONE OF A KIND, THERE IS NO OTHER

THE FIRST CHILD OF MY MOTHER, THE ONE WHO TOOK ME UNDER HIS WING

AND TAUGHT ME TO BRING MY BEST IN SITUATIONS

HE NEVER GAVE UP DESPITE WHAT WOULD HINDER HIS PATIENCE

NOT ONLY THAT, A MAN OF HIS WORD HE DID FOR ME

THROUGH ALL THE STRIFE HE WALKED THROUGH THIS LIFE WITH DIGNITY

PLUS HE MEANT TO ME MUCH MORE THAN ANYONE CAN IMAGINE

I CANNOT FATHOM A DIFFERENT LIFE IF I DID NOT HAVE HIM

THE THOUGHTS OF HIM AND ME IS REPLACED BY MEMORY

THE EPIDOMY OF WHAT A BROTHER SHOULD BE IS THE THOUGHTS HE’S GIVEN ME

I CANNOT GIVE GOD ENOUGH APPRECIATION

FOR THE TIMES THAT WE SHARED PLUS THE CHANCE OF A GREAT RELATION

THOUGH STILL IT’S HARD FOR ME, I DON’T FEEL THAT YOU’RE FAR FROM ME

CAUSE YOU ARE TO ME STILL AND ALWAYS WILL BE A MAJOR PART OF ME

YOU PASSED ON BUT MY LOVE FOR YOU IS STILL VERY STRONG

AND THIS IS WHY I SING THIS SONG

CHORUS 1

BUT GOD TOLD HIM TO COME HOME

COME HOME TO ME TO YOUR PARADISE UP ABOVE

HE TOLD HIM TO COME HOME

DON’T WORRY ABOUT YOUR FAMILY, THEY’LL BE TAKEN CARE OF

SO JUST COME HOME

CAUSE THE PAIN THAT YOU ENDURED, NO LONGER YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH

WHY DON’T YOU JUST COME HOME

CAUSE PARADISE IS WAITING FOR YOU

VERSE 2

A FRIEND, COUNSELOR, GREAT SINGER, A BROTHER

COMEDIAN, CONFIDANT, MUSICAL INSTRUCTOR

A FATHER, SON AND PROVIDER, THE FIRSTBORN

A FEW OF HIS TITLES BUT YET THE LIST GOES ON

MANY MEMORIES WE’VE SHARED FACE TO FACE ARE SUDDENLY UP

LIKE THE PLAY FIGHTS WE HAD AS CHILDREN TO TOUGHEN ME UP

I REMEMBER HOW HE FOOLED ME TO THINK HE WAS TWO PEOPLE

THE GOOD CHUCKIE NICE, BUT THE BAD CHUCKIE WAS EVIL

I USED TO HANG WITH HIM AS HE PLAYED BASKETBALL

HE TOOK ME EVERYWHERE, I DIDN’T HAVE TO ASK AT ALL

THE STUDIO SESSIONS WHAT I KNOW I LEARNED FROM HIM

I EARNED FROM HIM KNOWLEDGE CAUSE I ALWAYS TURNED TO HIM

I MISS ALL YOUR VISITS AND PHONE CALLS AS YOU LAUGHED WITH ME

I’D BE HAPPY TO SEE IF YOU CAME BACK TO ME

AND EVERYTIME HE SANG, HIS GIFT SPOKE FOR ITSELF

CAN I GET A WITNESS OF THE FACT HE SANG LIKE NOONE ELSE

PURE DEVINE HE WAS AND A LOVING GUR BECAUSE

THE CHRIST THAT LIVED IN HIM IS THE REASON WHY HE WAS

THE TWO BROTHERS I HAD IS SUDDENLY ONE

IF I COULD BE HALF THE BIG BROTHER YOU WERE TO ME THEN MY JOB IS DONE

NO CHANCE TO SAY THAT I LOVE YOU BUT THIS ENDEAVOR

WOULD HELP ME FEEL BETTER IF WE COULD JUST SAY IT TOGETHER

SO I LOVE YOU AND THIS IS TRUE

AND I’LL NEVER GET OVER LOSING YOU

CHORUS 2

BUT GOD TOLD HIM TO COME HOME

COME HOME TO ME TO THE PLACE THAT’S FULL OF LOVE

HE TOLD HIM TO COME HOME

DON’T WORRY ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN, THEY’LL BE TAKEN CARE OF

SO JUST COME HOME

CAUSE THE PAIN THAT YOU ENDURED, NO LONGER YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH

WHY DON’T YOU JUST COME HOME

MO SON, HEAVEN’S WAITING FOR YOU

VERSE 3

THERE’S TOO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT A MAN LIKE THIS

THREE VERSES JUST AIN’T ENOUGH SO I OFTEN JUST REMINISCE

AND THINK ABOUT YOUR ESSENCE

I KNOW YOUR SPIRIT LIVES COMES SOMETIMES I STILL FEEL YOUR PRESENCE

AROUND ME, YOUR LOVE SURROUNDS ME, THOUGH RIGHT NOW WE

CAN’T BE FACE TO FACE, BUT I KNOW ONE DAY WE SHALL BE

I TRY TO COPE BUT GOD KNOWS IT’S TOUGH

ON DAYS OF SADNESS I REALLY COULD USE YOUR JOKES TO CHEER ME UP

AND TO MY PARENTS WHO LOST THEIR FIRSTBORN SON

WHEN I KISS YOU IT’S IN HIS HONOR FOR A JOB WELL DONE

FOR YOU RAISED HIM IN A WAY THAT WAS FOCUSED ON CHRIST

FROM THAT FOUNDATION HE WAS EXPOSED TO THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE

AND CHUCK, THE PAIN YOU WENT THROUGH AND BEEN THROUGH

IF I WASN’T THERE AND HURT YOU, I NEVER MEANT TO

BUT WHEN YOUR SICKNESS TOOK PLACE I WAS DEVESTATED

AND WHEN YOU WENT TO THAT HOPITAL I BARELY MADE IT

CAUSE THE BROTHER THAT I IDOLIZED FULL OF LIFE WAY BACK

WAS VULNERABLE, HARD TO SEE YOU LIKE THAT

MANY DAYS OF WATCHING YOU STRUGGLE HURT MY HEART

MANY TIMES I PRAYED FOR YOUR HEALING AND A BRAND NEW START

YOUR LAST HOURS WITH ME YOUR SICKNESS WAS NOT REVEALING

MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED CAUSE YOU RECEIVED THE ULTIMATE HEALING

THE LAST WORDS I SAID TO YOU WERE BE SAFE

AND YOU WERE CAUSE THAT SAME NIGHT WITH GOD YOU WERE FACE TO FACE

AS HE TOLD YOU TO

CHORUS 3

BUT GOD TOLD HIM TO COME HOME

COME HOME TO ME TO YOUR PARADISE UP ABOVE

HE TOLD CHUCKIE TO COME HOME

DON’T WORRY ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONES, THEY’LL BE TAKEN CARE OF

SO JUST COME HOME

CAUSE THE PAIN THAT YOU ENDURED, NO LONGER YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH

WHY DON’T YOU JUST COME HOME

CAUSE PARADISE IS WAITING FOR YOU

OUTRO SINGING

COME BACK HOME, BACK TO ME, COME BACK HOME, COME HOME TO ME, COME BACK HOME, BACK TO ME, COME BACK HOME, DON’T YOU EVER LEAVE…REPEAT
