He walked out of those gates,
With a smile on his face,
Nearly ten years have passed.
His family waiting there,
When a moment they shared,
And they hoped this time will last.
Locked up inside those walls,
For so many years,
Living every day in fear.
But he's going home today,
The price has been paid,
His father's arms are open wide.
He's going home today,
No longer will he wait,
And with no regrets
He'll leave this world behind.
In a nursing home,
Left all alone,
Locked up since '64.
But the Lord's preparing a place
Filled with glory and grace
Bringing all he wants and more
And even though this world
Has forgotten that he's here,
All the time Christ is near.
And he's going home someday,
'Cause the price has been paid,
The Father's arms will be open wide.
He's going home someday,
Not much longer will he wait,
And with no regrets,
He'll leave this world behind.
We'll leave this world behind,
Yes, with no regrets,
We'll leave this world behind.
'Cause we're going home someday,
Yes, the price has been paid
The father's arms will be open wide.
We're going home someday,
Not much longer will we wait,
And with no regrets,
We'll leave this world behind,
Yes, with no regrets,
We'll leave this world behind.
