Chale, it has been a long time
But the sun is shining again, oyiwa!
Twelve months have passed since you left the gate
Keeping the watch, sealing your fate
Across the oceans, in the distant land
I kept your heart in the palm of my hand
Every morning I looked at the door
Praying that God would bring you back once more
It was a long road, Frank honey, it was hard and steep
But your promise was a vow you swore to keep
Welcome home, Frank honey, welcome home to us
My hero back from across the sea
God saw you through the fire and the rain
Now I hold you close and erase the pain
Welcome home, Frank honey, my love so true
I thank the Lord that He brought us you
I remember the nights, so cold and so long
But I hummed the melody of your favorite song
You know? I felt your spirit near
Whispering softly to calm every fear
Now you are here, the wait is all done
My love has returned, like the rising sun
No more silence, no more feeling low
You are the only one that I want to know
Welcome home, Frank honey, welcome home to me
My hero back from across the sea
God saw you through the fire and the rain
Now I hold you close and erase the pain
Welcome home, Frank, my love so true
I thank the Lord that He brought me you
Eii, the peace you brought is for the world
But today our own love flag is unfurled
Chale, let the music play for your grace
I just want to look upon your face
We will chop life and leave the past behind
With a love like ours, we are one of a kind
From Accra to the world, your duty was done
Now sit with me, honey, you are the chosen one
Thank you for the strength, thank you for the heart
We will never again be living apart
Welcome home, Frank, welcome home to me
My hero back from across the sea
God saw you through the fire and the rain
Now I hold you close and erase the pain
Welcome home, honey, my love so true
I thank the Lord that He brought us you
Welcome home, my darling Frank
God be praised, for you I thank
Chale, you are back at last
Our love is the future, forget the past
Oyiwa, welcome home.
