THE EXILE SONG Part II- Welcome Home

Years have passed since you were last here,
I can’t wait to tell you about them my dear.
Now you have returned and I cannot believe,
As you kiss me I feel so relived.

You know how they were angry then,
You were made to wear the consequence.
This will serve as a second chance,
Stand tall now, to the king advance.

Years ago we heard the drums of war,
Now hear that thunderous applause.
For our failings we atone,
Now feel loved as we welcome you home.
