Lyrics

1st Verse
Even though he left us in a hurry
Even though he never said goodbye
I know that he would love to tell us
Don't you even worry
Don't you ever let me see you cry
2nd Verse
Some say it's sad a friend so quickly leaves us
Especially a friend still in his prime
But he is in the loving arms of
Those who've waited for him
It's only sad for those he left behind
Chorus
But now I see more clearly
He left to rise above it all
The troubles of a world gone crazy
But he won't have to worry
'Cause some get to come home early
Bridge
Some get to come home early
Embraced by the light of his love
And touched by the Savior so dearly
Safe home with the Father above
Chorus
And now I see more clearly
He left to rise above it all
The troubles of a world gone crazy
But he won't have to worry
'Cause some get to come home early
Yes, some get to come home early
