Run away from what you know is right
Turn your eyes from daylight and you spend the night
Where'd you go wrong now it's so easy to lose track
Though you've gone some distance
You're always welcome back
'Cus love has open arms
He never has forsaken you
Love has open arms
Don't let the world keep on breaking you
No, no come on home
Prodigal child there's a storm at sea
You're in the middle and that's a bad place to be
No you won't rest till your safely on the shore
You hear the call to Jesus, don't you fight it anymore
'Cus love has open arms
He never has forsaken you
Love has open arms
Don't let the world keep on breaking you
No, no come on home
Didn't I see you with a bible in your hand
And a smile upon your face?
Well those are good days, my friend
Why did they have to end?
But you know there is no reason
Why you can't be there again
You've run away from what you know is right
Turn your eyes from daylight and you spend the night
Where'd you go wrong now it's so easy to lose track
Though you've gone some distance
You're always welcome back
'Cus love has open arms
He never has forsaken you
Love has open arms
Don't let the world keep on breaking you
No, no come on home... come on home... come on home
Song notes: This song, which was performed fairly frequently by Daniel Amos in the early days and on into the 80s, actually dates back to at least 1972 when a demo was recorded by Terry and his wife Debi.
