This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Different Directions album, and has also been released on The John Denver Collection - Sunshine On My Shoulder album. Home, come on home Ye who are weary come home Softly and tenderly calling Home, come on home Sometimes when I'm feeling lonesome And no one on earth seems to care I'm all by myself in the darkness With no one and nothing to share Just when it feels like it's hopeless And I'll never make it alone I hear the voices of angels Tenderly calling me home Home, come on home Ye who are weary come home Softly and tenderly calling Home, come on home I try to keep it together I never let on that I'm scared Still sometimes I fall to pieces Scattered and lost everywhere Just when it feels like there's no one To mend all my broken down dreams I hear a voice deep inside me Tenderly calling to me Home, come on home Ye who are weary come home Softly and tenderly calling Home, come on home So don't be afraid of the darkness And don't run away from the storm Stand up and face your reflection The feelings you try to ignore After the tempest is over You've let yourself come on through You'll hear a voice in the silence Tenderly calling to you Home, come on home Ye who are weary come home Softly and tenderly calling Home, come on home Words and Music by Jan Garrett
