I’ve been away so long
I wondered far from home
I look away from him
And filled my life with sin.
But if I change my ways
I’d give up everything to return someday.
I’ll turn around
I have been lost, but now I’m found.
***
Then I will see the light on
Inside my home again
I hope I will be welcome
And hear my Father say
Welcome home.
With every step I take
I promise to forsake
And give up all my sins
That I may be with him
And everyday I try
I’m one step closer to my home on high
I round the bend
And know I finally reached the end
***
Then I will see the light on
Inside my home again
I hope I will be welcome
And hear my Father say
Welcome Home.
I walked up to the door
My courage fails once more
I hear his steps inside
The door is open wide.
I step into the light
He says he loves me, and he holds me tight
I cry out loud
I have been lost, but now I’m found
***
And I can see the light on
Inside my home again.
I know that I am welcome
As I hear, my father say
Welcome Home.

No Lyrics Yet, but the message of the song was found in Nephi 4:14-35 -
14 For I, Nephi, was constrained to speak unto them, according to his word; for I had spoken many things unto them, and also my father, before his death; many of which sayings are written upon mine other plates; for a more history part are written upon mine other plates.
15 And upon these I write the things of my soul, and many of the scriptures which are engraven upon the plates of brass. For my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them, and writeth them for the learning and the profit of my children.
16 Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.
17 Nevertheless, notwithstanding the great goodness of the Lord, in showing me his great and marvelous works, my heart exclaimeth: O wretched man that I am! Yea, my heart sorroweth because of my flesh; my soul grieveth because of mine iniquities.
18 I am encompassed about, because of the temptations and the sins which do so easily beset me.
19 And when I desire to rejoice, my heart groaneth because of my sins; nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted.
20 My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness; and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep.
21 He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh.
22 He hath confounded mine enemies, unto the causing of them to quake before me.
23 Behold, he hath heard my cry by day, and he hath given me knowledge by visions in the night-time.
24 And by day have I waxed bold in mighty prayer before him; yea, my voice have I sent up on high; and angels came down and ministered unto me.
25 And upon the wings of his Spirit hath my body been carried away upon exceedingly high mountains. And mine eyes have beheld great things, yea, even too great for man; therefore I was bidden that I should not write them.
26 O then, if I have seen so great things, if the Lord in his condescension unto the children of men hath visited men in so much mercy, why should my heart weep and my soul linger in the valley of sorrow, and my flesh waste away, and my strength slacken, because of mine afflictions?
27 And why should I yield to sin, because of my flesh? Yea, why should I give way to temptations, that the evil one have place in my heart to destroy my peace and afflict my soul? Why am I angry because of mine enemy?
28 Awake, my soul! No longer adroop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul.
29 Do not anger again because of mine enemies. Do not slacken my strength because of mine afflictions.
30 Rejoice, O my heart, and cry unto the Lord, and say: O Lord, I will praise thee forever; yea, my soul will rejoice in thee, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
31 O Lord, wilt thou redeem my soul? Wilt thou deliver me out of the hands of mine enemies? Wilt thou make me that I may shake at the appearance of sin?
32 May the gates of hell be shut continually before me, because that my heart is broken and my spirit is contrite! O Lord, wilt thou not shut the gates of thy righteousness before me, that I may walk in the path of the low valley, that I may be strict in the plain road!
33 O Lord, wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness! O Lord, wilt thou make a way for mine escape before mine enemies! Wilt thou make my path straight before me! Wilt thou not place a stumbling block in my way—but that thou wouldst clear my way before me, and hedge not up my way, but the ways of mine enemy.
34 O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm.
35 Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh. Yea, my God will give me, if I ask not amiss; therefore I will lift up my voice unto thee; yea, I will cry unto thee, my God, the rock of my righteousness. Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee, my rock and mine everlasting God. Amen.
Our Mother's Always Taught Us
Everything was silent and the smoke fired in our eyes
The cold wind blew across the land in the misty morning light
We were 2000 brothers here, going forth to fight
With sword and shield but without fear as we heard the battle cry
Father Helaman we covenant now to fight
For liberty land and family to the laying down of lives
Father out god is with us, he will not suffer us to fall
We will be obedient having faith to conquer all
Chorus:
Our mothers always taught us we should never doubt
If we are true and faithful we will conquer now
Our god will fight beside us, he will help us win
Our mothers always knew, it we would all come home again
We lifted up our swords and we fought with all our might
We had never fought before but we fought the laminates
They were blood thirsty warriors with their faces painted red
When the battle was over, there were thousands left for dead
Chorus
I fell with many wounds and was taken from the dead
I looked around the battleground and the laminates had fled
Of my 2000 brothers here, one soul had not been slain
We could see our mother's tears as we sang this song again
Chorus x2

In A Coming Day
In a coming day, I will close my weary eyes
In a coming day, I will leave this mortal life.
In a coming day, I will feel the prints in His hands,
In a coming day, I will see the son of man.
But when that day is here, and eternity seems very clear.
I shall not then, any better that I know now
that he is God's almighty Son,
My Redeemer the atoning One.
That He live and he shall stand one day upon this land,
and I shall not know then, any better that I know now
in a coming day.
In a coming day, I will wet His feet with my tears
In a coming day, in His arms He'll hold me near.
In a coming day, I will look into His Eyes,
In a coming day, I will live with Him on hight.
But when that day is here, and eternity seems very clear.
I shall not then, any better that I know now
that he is God's almighty Son,
My Redeemer the atoning One.
That He live and he shall stand one day upon this land,
and I shall not know then, any better that I know now
in a coming day.

I Believe
It happened so suddenly.
Suddenly I was taken away.
Before I could feel the pain everything turned from night into day.
And I prayed "Please let me stay with them.
I don't want to leave my family & friends.
I can see them crying in their hands over me."
Chorus
But I believe in a place where I will be
after this life to wait for my family.
I believe in a place where I will be
after this life to wait for my family.
My family won't be the same.
Now that I'm gone, their lives have all changed.
They try to remember me and realize it wasn't a dream.
Suddenly life is a memory.
I can see my mother holding on to me.
I can see my father on his knees next to me.
Chorus
And as I look kneeling at my feet,
is a man who can understand the way I feel.
And as I look into His eyes I feel like I'm home again with my family.
Chorus
Suddenly I was taken away.
Before I could feel the pain everything turned from night into day.
And I prayed "Please let me stay with them.
I don't want to leave my family & friends.
I can see them crying in their hands over me."
Chorus
But I believe in a place where I will be
after this life to wait for my family.
I believe in a place where I will be
after this life to wait for my family.
My family won't be the same.
Now that I'm gone, their lives have all changed.
They try to remember me and realize it wasn't a dream.
Suddenly life is a memory.
I can see my mother holding on to me.
I can see my father on his knees next to me.
Chorus
And as I look kneeling at my feet,
is a man who can understand the way I feel.
And as I look into His eyes I feel like I'm home again with my family.
Chorus
