A song for parents waiting for their sons and daughters to come home from the war. No matter how old they are, they're still our babies.

Waiting by the tracks
Got a long time to go
Till my baby comes home
And we move it on down the road
On the road back home
And we’ll take it slow

Wish I knew the words
That could set us all free
From the anger inside
And our blinded beliefs
Hear that engine coming
It’s such a long time coming

Baby’s in a place
In a foreign land
Where the peace has been lost
And the killing I don’t understand
I’d like to ask the man
Is this his master plan

Somewhere down the line
There are thousands more
Waiting for their babies
Coming home from a distant war
Is this our fate ever more
What are we fighting for

Hear that engine coming
Someday it’s coming for me
