WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME
(c) 2008 G. Smith
------------------------------------------------------

V1:
When a soldier comes home...
From across the sea;
Tears are shed...
By his family.
Tears of joy,
That he's safe from harm,
That once again,
He's in their arms.
When a soldier comes home.

V2:
When a soldier comes home...
From a far away land
Tears are shed...
Over dreams once planned.
Medals and fear
Over what lies ahead;
Nights all alone,
Sleepless with dread;
When a soldier comes home.

Chorus:
He leaves all behind,
To serve the rest;
When duty calls,
He gives his best.
Honor and country,
Flesh and bone;
Ultimate love,
When a soldier comes home...

V3:
When a soldier comes home...
His battle won;
Tears are shed...
His tour is done.
A folded flag
Brings pride and pain;
And prayers that all
Was not in vain.
When a soldier comes home.

Chorus:
He leaves all behind
To serve the rest;
When duty calls,
He gives his best.
Honor and country,
Flesh and bone;
Ultimate love,
When a soldier comes home...

TAG:
When a soldier comes home...
From across the sea;
Tears are shed...
By his family.
