The crowd is gone, the music fades,
The tears come running down my face,
Too many times I speak so much,
I get so cold, and need your touch,
And there's nothing left to say this time.

I proved to be what I despised,
Am I still pleasing in your eyes'
When all is said, and all is done,
Am I still pleasing as your son'
'Cause I can't just walk away this time.

I run to you, I've been alone,
It's dark and lonely on my own,
And it's been awhile for me,
With open arms, I hear you say, "My son's come home to me today,"
And that's all I need to hear from you.

Another day, my thoughts are scarred,
I let the past control my heart,
Then I hear your voice; it seems so clear,
You ease the pain and dry my tears,
And I can't imagine why you'd stay.

I run to you, I've been alone,
It's dark and lonely on my own,
And it's been awhile for me,
With open arms, I hear you say, "My son's come home to me today,"
And that's all I need to hear from you.

I run to you, I've been alone,
It's dark and lonely on my own,
And it's been awhile for me,
With open arms, I hear you say, "My son's come home to me today,"
And that's all I need to hear from you.

And I run to you,
And I run to you,
And I run to you,
And I run to you.
