Come Home America

Welcome home, my warrior, is the fighting really done?

You’ve been gone forever it seems and there are many who think we’ve won.

But how do you feel and can it be real?

Welcome home, my warrior, though you don’t know who I am,

I’ve thought about you every day, waking up in a far off land,

And all I can say is God bless today.

Come home, America...let wartime be gone,

Let us be grateful and free.

Come home, America...please take my hand,

I want you walkin’ with me.

When you left your family, they didn’t know if you’d survive,

Every night, they waited to hear that somehow you were still alive,

And if you came home now and then, you were sent back soon again.

Now the war’s been strugglin’ on and we’ve been livin’ day to day,

I swear to God we haven’t forgotten every sacrifice you made,

And to the soldiers who have died, we bear your name.

Come home, America...let wartime be gone,

Let us be grateful and free.

Come home, America...please take my hand,

I want you walkin’ with me.

Hurry back, hurry back, we’re waiting for you,

There’s a child and a Dad you need to see,

When you walk off that plane, there’ll be so much to do,

In a country that’s crazy about you.

Come home, America...stand by our side,

We’ll show you what we can do.

Come home, America...to your daughters and sons,

We’re lookin’ out now for you.

Come home, America...let wartime be gone,

Let us be grateful and free.

Come home, America...please take my hand,

I want you walkin’ with me.

From our enemies – come home.

From destruction – come home.

From the war and the fear and from not being here, from eternity – come home.

To a nation – come home.

To your family – come home.

To rebuilding, reviving, relaxing and thriving -

America, come home.

To America, come home.
