Welcome Home
Michael W. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Having to say goodbye.
And I can barely see you through
These tears I cry.
I close my eyes.
[Chorus]
I can hear the sound
Saying this is where you belong
Welcome Home!
There are the days that my heart aches
wishing you were here.
But I know where you are
The hurt and the pain disappear.
There's no more tears.
[Chorus]
Welcome Home!
[Chorus]
What a lovely sound
Angels all around
Saying this is where you belong
Welcome Home!
Welcome Home!
Welcome Home!
In Michael W. Smith's song Welcome Home, the singer is expressing their grief over the loss of someone they love. They are saying goodbye and struggling to see through their tears. But as the chorus comes in, they hear the sound of angels gathering around and welcoming their loved one home. The singer finds comfort in this, knowing that their loved one is in a better place and their pain and tears have disappeared. The repetition of "Welcome Home" emphasizes the idea that the loved one is in a place where they truly belong, with the angels surrounding them and welcoming them into the afterlife.
The song is a beautiful tribute to those we've lost and the comfort we may find knowing that they are in a better place. It highlights the themes of grief, acceptance, and the idea of home, in both a physical and spiritual sense. The idea of angels welcoming a loved one into a new home is a powerful image, and Smith's emotive vocals and poignant lyrics capture this sentiment beautifully.
