there s a fifteen mile radius in the city i call home where the family style is born and raised and salvation surely roams you can hear the church bells ringing hallelujah to the king as the hanger near the diner door is draped with suffering yeah the hanger near the diner door is caked with suffering oh come back home to me oh time and time again i ll find through the iridescent light that my time spent here was surely dear when i m restless now at night for the days and weeks seem endless when i m doing what i love and the sweet aroma fills my head with praises from above yeah the sweet aroma fills my head with ideas from above oh come back home to me so i look for inspiration in my simple interactions not the petty shallow foolishness that brings me satisfaction for as i write this melody the gears in my head turn thinking bout the people who have taught me all i ve learned thanking all the people who have taught me all i ve learned oh come back home to me lord can you help me please to find my righteous call for the steps that i have taken have now led me up a wall let me toast to my successes and let me weep for all i ve lost because the feelings of belonging here are surely worth the cost yeah the feelings of belonging here are surely worth the cost oh come back home to me that fifteen mile radius seems bigger everyday as my memories of memories they slowly fade away as the camera loses focus of the life i knew before as i lose the good relationships still knocking on my door take the key unlock the lock and see just whats in store oh come back home to me
