Introduction

Verse 1

  Tonight I am feeling for you under the state of a strange land

  You have sacrificed much to be here,‘there but for grace

’ as I offer my hand

Chorus 1

Welcome home, I bid you welcome, I bid you welcome

Welcome home from the bottom of my heart

(same chords, same rhythm)

Verse 2

Out here on the edge the empire is fading by the day

And the world is so weary in war, maybe we’ll find that new way?

Chorus 2

So welcome home, see I made a space for you now

Welcome home from the bottom of our heart

Welcome home from the bottom of our hearts

Bridge

Keep it coming now, keep it coming now

You’ll find most of us here with our hearts wide open

Keep it coming now, keep on coming now

Keep it coming now, keep on coming now

Verse 3

There’s a woman with her hands trembling, haere mai

And she sings with a mountain’s memory, haere mai

Verse 4

(Lightly Picked)

  There’s a cloud the full length of these isles, just playing chase with the

sun

  And it’s black and it’s white and it’s wild, all the colours are one

CHORUS/REFRAIN:

Welcome home, I bid you welcome, I bid you welcome

Welcome home from the bottom of our hearts

Welcome home, see I made a space for you now

(hold)

Welcome home from the bottom of our hearts

Outro

 From the bottom of our hearts
