I came home wanting love to conquer all
But the past still painted every wall
I came with love, i came with kind
I always forget what i always find
I came home wanting love to conquer all
I came home, why does the dark close in
Here's the sullen face, the frightened child again
She came for the glass of milk, the ball of yarn,
The fire hearth, not the fire alarm
I came home wanting love to conquer all
I came home, my heart wants to yield
It's the rest of me brings this sword and this shield
I wanted a hug in the kitchen light
To be folded in, not to fight
I came home wanting love to conquer all
I came home wanting love to conquer all
I come home in spite of it all
I come home in spite of it all
Cause nobody's perfect at home sweet home
Love gets lost in sticks and stones
Where is it written those that hold you close
Are the ones who can hurt you most
I came home wanting love to conquer all
