Home

I'm a soldier on the field

Fightin' for you

Fightin' for me

You can see it on our faces

Like the bullets leave tracers

You can feel it for real

You can't imagine the pain of my babies so far away

So far from my home

When they comin' home?

When they leavin' that place?

See their lover's face again

Kid will see his daddy's face again

When they comin' home?

Lord, shed some grace

See their lover's face again

Kid will see his daddy's face again

I'm a soldier on the field

Waitin' to die, prayin' to live

To survive one more day

But my hope begins to fray

It's my flesh against the steel

You'll never know what I've known

You'll never see what I've seen

I hope we make it home

When they comin' home?

When they leavin' that place?

See their lover's face again

Kid will see his daddy's face again

When they comin' home?

Lord, shed some grace

Put your peace in the valley tonight

Bring the soldier home alright

When they comin' home?

When they leavin' that place?

See their lover's face again

Kid will see his daddy's face again

"So far from home", she cries

"Politics aside, what I'd give to have him here tonight"
