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
