COME ON HOME
Third World Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just come on home
Just come on home

When you're feeling sad and lonely
Don't you worry, you're never all alone
Jah is your guide, your one and only
Just come on home
Just come on home

Jah know you want to be somebody
What's the hurry, are you running out of time
You never have to say you're sorry
When you come on home
Just come on home
Just come on home

In this world, feeling left out and alone
Millions around you yet you're out there on
Your own
Let the power guide you like little David and the
Stone
And come come come come.. .come on
Come on home
Come on to the Father
My sister and my brother

Out there seeking satisfaction
There's no cure to such an appetite
If you want to find the real action
Come on home tonight
Come on home tonight
Everything gonna be all right

In this world, feeling left out and alone
Thousands around you yet you're out there on
Your own
Let the power guide you like tittle David and the
Stone
And come, and come, come on home
Oh, come on, yeah yeah
Just come on home
I beg you to come on home, my little brother
I beg you to come on home, my little sister
Oh oh

We got to live together
Just help each other
When you're feeling lonely
Every time that you're feeling blue
Oh, let me tell you what to do
You got to come on home
You got to come on home




No procrastinating
Can't you see that love is waiting
