Lyrics
Verse 1: Dante Bowe
This may be a song that the captives can't yet sing
But if we sing long enough, they might join in with us
And this may be a dance that's too heavy for those chains
But if we dance long enough, all the prisons will open up, hey!
Verse 2: Dante Bowe
This may be a shout that those fragile ones can't bear
But if we shout long enough, oh, the walls might finally fall
And they may need some help to lift their hands up in the air
But we know that freedom's coming, so we'll sing it all the more
Chorus: Dante Bowe
We're singing oh-oh-oh
The redeemed now have a song
We'll sing it all day long
Until the rеst come running home
And oh-oh-oh
All the brokеn, can you hear?
We'll shout it out forever
Can't wait 'till you make it here
Sing it out, say
Post-Chorus: Dante Bowe
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Verse 3: Dante Bowe
This may be too daring of a prayer to pray out loud
But would You send those orphans home? We've been waiting all day long
Oh, a ring and a robe is ready, we can see them coming now
Just like a prodigal, we're gonna meet them in the road
Chorus: Dante Bowe
We're singing oh-oh-oh
The redeemed now have a song
We'll sing it all day long
Until the rest come running home
And oh-oh-oh
All the broken, can you hear?
We'll shout it out forever
Can't wait 'till you make it here
Sing it out, say
Post-Chorus: Dante Bowe
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Bridge 1: Dante Bowe
Strongholds start to break
At the sound of our voices, at the sound of our praise
Mountains, get out of our way
Can't you see us dancing?
There's no room for you to stay, no-no-no

At the sound of our voices, at the sound of our praise

Can't you see us dancing?
There's no room for you to stay

Say, "Welcome home"
Welcome home
Spoken: Dante Bowe
I wanna keep singing this
But for some of you
You have unsaved family members
Unsaved friends
Loved ones that you know
Maybe strangers that you even know
I believe that the Lord, today, is honoring what you're saying
And even if they're not ready, you're gonna get a phone call
I prophesy it today
Even if they're in the crackhouse, you're gonna get a phone call
I prophesy today
I prophesy today
That the broken is coming home
The weary is coming home
The depressed is coming home
The forgotten is coming home
Come on in, come on in
Outro: Naomi Raine, Dante Bowe
Welcome home, oh, woah (Hey!)
Welcome home (If you're heavy-laden, to all the weary)
The Father's arms are open, welcome home
Welcome home (Welcome home, welcome home, you belong here, you belong here)
Welcome home (You belong, you belong)
Welcome home (Welcome home)
Welcome home
Welcome home
Welcome home
We've been waiting for you!
We rejoice with Heaven

Meaning & Inspiration
Ring and Robe centers on the celebration that follows restoration. Images of captives singing, prisons opening, strongholds breaking, and weary people coming home present freedom as a communal act of praise. The repeated welcome is especially anchored by the ring and robe, details that closely echo the father's reception of the returning son in Luke 15. Rather than dwelling on distance or failure, the song emphasizes an open door, a waiting Father, and rejoicing when the lost return.
The lyrics also turn celebration into persistent hope for broken people, friends, and family members who have not yet come home. Calls to keep running and not grow weary frame faith as patient expectation. Its language moves between sung praise, invitation, and spoken exhortation, but the central idea remains consistent: redemption gives the restored a song and gives the waiting community reason to rejoice. The biblical connection is clearest in the prodigal-son imagery and in the call to persevere in doing good.
