lyrics
I was out of work and defeated
Like the Prodigal Son I returned
With a warm embrace you welcomed me
Bandaged me up and licked my wounds
Didn't have to explain it all
Life starts again when you are free
When I needed a friend
You sent me one
When I needed some cash
You lent me some
Open to all
Stranger to none
I will not forget
What you've helped me become
California, I love you
From the bottom of my broken heart
California, I love you
From the marrow of my broken bones
The sunshine it warms my face
The wind it knows my name
I am home
This city I live in
Is a work of art
I am so proud
To play my part
