Lyrics
I?ll Come On Home
Words and Music by Elisabeth Stainton

Verse 1: Every little step I take takes me further
Every sunny day I see is stored in my mind
Every little hour I live makes me stronger
And I?ll just keep on walking, I won?t look behind
Chorus: I?ll come on home in the morningtime
I?ll come on home when I?ve seen the things I?m searching for inside
I?ll come on home like I said I would
I?ll come on home now I know I?ve found my way
Soon I?ll come on home
Verse 2: Every time I look up I can see the sun shining
Every time I look down there?s the world at my feet
Sometimes when I wake up I can feel myself smiling
And I?ll just keep on walking, there?s so much to see
Chorus: I?ll come on home in the morningtime
I?ll come on home when I?ve seen the things I?m searching for inside
I?ll come on home like I said I would
I?ll come on home now I know I?ve found my way
Soon I?ll come on home
Middle Eight:In the night, when I?m tired and alone
If I peer through the darkness I am home
Chorus: I?ll come on home in the morningtime
I?ll come on home when I?ve seen the things I?m searching for inside
I?ll come on home like I said I would
I?ll come on home now I know I?ve found my way
I?ll come on home now I know I?ve found my way
I?ll come on home now I know I?ve found my way
Soon I?ll come on home
